Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven abandoning Vicki to rescue the Doctor in Episode 6 escalates into Steven prioritizing independent action to 'save the Doctor' again in Episode 15 — this time by sabotaging the Dalek ship to maintain control, despite the Doctor’s plan."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows Steven’s recurring pattern of acting unilaterally in what he views as a crisis involving the Doctor. The stakes are far higher in Episode 15, escalating both the conflict and Steven’s role as a rogue agent within the Doctor’s schemes.
About Escalation Connections
