Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana’s initial tension under pursuit by Mandrels (Episode 15) echoes her frantic distress upon discovering the Doctor’s disappearance (Episode 16), as both moments involve Romana reacting to sudden peril with rapid, instinctive urgency."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Romana's composure in Episode 15 fractures under the Doctor’s abrupt absence in Episode 16, showing how external threats (Mandrels) forced urgency before, now mirrored by relational peril (Doctor missing). Her evolution from tension to distress reflects deeper partnership fragility.
