Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's assertive delegation to Zoe (treating her technical expertise as subordinate to his authority) in Episode 7 contrasts with Russell's later delegation to Jamie in Episode 8, where Zoe's strategic value is finally recognized and institutionalized."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zoe's technical skills are undervalued or treated as an extension of the Doctor's plan in Episode 7 (e.g., 'don't ask questions, just do what I say'). By Episode 8 (e.g., Russell dispatching Zoe to compile resistance rosters), her expertise is actively sought out, marking a shift in her role from the Doctor's aide to a recognized leader in her own right.
