Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's insistence on proceeding alone into danger (abandoning companions under duress) recurs when he tells the Brigadier to get reinforcements. Later, he again separates from Sarah Jane in Episode 11 and is captured, showing his recurring self-reliant (even isolating) operational ethos under pressure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights the Doctor's continuity as an exile-adjacent figure who repeatedly chooses tactical independence over group safety. It reflects his Time Lord rebellious streak — operating outside command structures and trusting only his own judgment when time or safety are critical.
