Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sarah Jane’s independent investigative instincts, undermined by the Brigadier and Yates in Episode 6, drive her to act unilaterally in Episode 7. Her defiance of orders to chase the generator reflects a cumulated frustration with institutional dismissal."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
After being sidelined by both Yates and the Doctor in Episode 6, Sarah’s proactive pursuit of the generator stitches her character arc across episodes. Her refusal to accept dismissal becomes the impetus for critical advance in the plot — a thematic rebuttal to institutional skepticism.
