Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor commends Jo's self-sacrifice as saving them in Episode 25; in Episode 901, the Doctor insists on saving an unconscious stranger, prioritizing a life over mission—showing the same ethical principle of valuing sacrifice that he learned from Jo."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's insistence on humanitarian action ('get him to hospital') mirrors Jo's irrational sacrifice—both defy tactical logic for moral reasons. Yates obeys the Doctor's order without question, having learned that such decisions can be the right ones.
