Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In both scenes, Romana observes a departure under threat: first the Doctor’s unexplained vanishing, then Scaroth’s retreat into the temporal void. Each departure creates a rupture that Romana must respond to."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The structure of Romana witnessing someone (or something) vanish under coercive circumstances recurs. Both moments force Romana into solitude and decisive thought. The callback highlights her continuity in responding to disappearance—whether the Doctor or the antagonist—through observation and action.
