How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vicki's grief over Ian and Barbara's departure in Episode 35 (her emotional 'I shall miss them') directly resonates with her emotional vulnerability in Episode 36 when she emotionally affirms her decision to stay with the Doctor. Both moments highlight her internal conflict of attachment vs. loss."
