Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 1701, when the Doctor is trapped, Romana leaves him to seek help from K9, taking her first independent action. In Episode 1803, with the Doctor aged and vulnerable, Romana takes the initiative to insist on infiltrating the generator, demonstrating her growth from a dependent companion to a decisive agent."
