Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Sarah's physical and emotional ordeal in Episode 14 (capture and torture) fuels her urgent mission in Episode 15. Her delayed rescue of the Doctor is directly preceded by her capture in the woodland, making this a pivotal causal chain.
