Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes feature moments where Sara (and Steven) exert direct physical control in chaotic situations. In Episode 15, the chaos is orchestrated strategically against the Daleks; in Episode 16, it is reactive to police authority. This parallel underscores Sara's role as a physically competent agent whose actions shift from military-strategic to improvised and interpersonal.
