Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This parallel underscores Jo's ongoing efforts to prove herself despite being marginalized by male authority figures (the Doctor in Episode 2, Yates in Episode 3). Yates' dismissive preparation of cocoa mirrors the Doctor's earlier dismissal of Jo's concerns, emphasizing the theme of overlooked agency.
