Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sarah Jane's recovery of the Doctor's lost interdimensional key in Part 5 (cand_evt_scene_4a5bb46bf9cc56ec_1) sets up her possession of the key during the events of Part 6, where she actively defends and works to protect the crystal from the Queen Spider's control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

Sarah Jane's resourcefulness and initiative in securing the key in Part 5 (despite the Doctor's panic over losing it) foreshadows her increased agency and protective role in Part 6. This demonstrates her growing independence and competence under pressure, a defining trait of her character trajectory.
