Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Poly’s role as moral compass and questioner of authority begins in Episode 10 and continues in Episode 11 where she balances defending Quinn (her empathy) with aligning with the Doctor’s mission (her growing trust in his expertise)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Throughout both episodes, Polly’s internal conflict between moral instinct (e.g. defending Quinn) and adherence to the Doctor’s judgment defines her character trajectory. Her continuity maps the shift from skepticism about the Doctor’s new persona toward pragmatic trust in his judgment against Dalek threat — a core thread of her multi-episode arc.
