Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's desperate order to flee (beat_041de41c0da9f063) plants the seed for the later mission where Romana and Clare must hold the temporal link—a fragile and volatile task that directly stems from this initial retreat. Their role in maintaining the link is a consequence of the Doctor's earlier command."
