Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jo's ability to activate the Extreme Emergency protocol in Part 5 directly reflects her growing competence and trust in the Doctor's guidance, which he relies on in Part 6 when sharing a personal memory to steady her in dire straits."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Jo Grant's character trajectory from a novice companion needing the Doctor's explicit instructions in Episode 25 to a more seasoned ally able to act independently under the Doctor's implicit trust in Episode 26. The Doctor's reliance on her to manage the TARDIS's emergency protocol mirrors his later reliance on her emotional resilience in the dungeon.
