Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Fourth Doctor's sacrifice in Logopolis and the Third Doctor's acknowledgment of Sarah's terror in the Dark Tower both frame her as a character who must overcome fear through trust in the Doctor. This parallel deepens her emotional arc across the series.
