Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's protectiveness over Vana in Part 1 directly informs his decision to override the Kroton test in Part 2, where he risks entering the Dynatrope to save Zoe. This reflects an escalation of his protective instincts toward his companions.
