Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's risky descent into Zanak's lair in 'The Pirate Planet Part 2'—taken without Romana’s input—echoes in 'The Armageddon Factor Part 3' when Romana faces the TARDIS's sudden disappearance. Both events leave the other partner vulnerable and force adaptation under high-pressure, low-safety conditions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional echo ties their parallel vulnerabilities: each is left to navigate danger after the other acts impulsively or is forcibly removed. This reciprocal vulnerability strains trust and highlights the asymmetry of their approaches—his boldness, her caution—across episode boundaries.
