Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s concern over Vicki staying behind in Troy in Episode 9 reflects a broader theme of companions leaving or being absent, mirrored in Episode 10 by Steven’s delirious calls for Vicki and the Doctor’s own absorption in the mission."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional impact of a companion’s absence or departure (Vicki in Episode 9, Vicki again invoked by Steven in Episode 10) creates a thematic throughline about loss and connection that haunts the Doctor throughout these two episodes.
