Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's abandonment of Jo in The Claws of Axos (prioritizing stopping Axos over her safety) escalates in Colony In Space when the Time Lords forcibly rematerialize the TARDIS, leaving Jo behind as collateral damage. Both moments underscore the Doctor's conflicted priorities and the cost of his decisions on those close to him."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights a troubling pattern in the Doctor's actions: his willingness to sacrifice immediate relationships (Jo) for what he perceives as a greater good (defeating threats). The escalation shows the erosion of trust between him and Jo, foreshadowing their eventual estrangement.
