Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jamie's plea to 'not leave [Victoria] behind' in Episode 35 echoes his justification in Episode 37, where he claims he 'couldn't let you blow up the rocket' for the Doctor. Both reflect his fear of abandonment and compulsion to 'protect those who remain' at all costs."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Victoria's departure creates a void Jamie fills by transferring his protective instincts to the Doctor (to prevent losing someone else he considers family). The emotional echo shows his unresolved trauma manifesting in compulsive loyalty.
