Loyalty and the drive to rescue others—especially Victoria—become acts of defiance against the Great Intelligence and the Yeti menace. Jamie’s fierce protectiveness over Victoria and his insistence on immediate action highlight this theme, as does Anne’s determination to aid The Doctor despite her fears. The Doctor’s own resolve to outmaneuver the Intelligence and save his companions situates rescue and loyalty as moral imperatives, binding the group together in the face of overwhelming odds.
