Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 4, Jo observes the Doctor's cold indifference to the Master's entrapment ('I'm rather looking forward to it'), which contrasts sharply with her later emotional intensity when she is actively trying to save the Doctor's life in Episode 22. This continuity in her transformation—from skepticism to unwavering loyalty and protectiveness—ties her character arc together across episodes.
