Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Dodo's nostalgic joy at returning to London (Episode 42) juxtaposed against the Doctor's concern over her well-being and Polly's disappearance (Episode 43) highlights her role as a bridge between the Doctor's alien world and human society, now fractured by WOTAN's control."
