Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ace's loyalty to the Doctor in Episode 10 (refusing to flee despite fear) evolves into her defensive role in Episode 11 (running interference during the hearse pursuit), showing her growth from a companion who resists abandonment to one who actively protects."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes underscore Ace's transformation from a companion in denial to a proactive defender. Episode 10's confrontation with fear ('I can't leave you.') directly informs her impulsive action in Episode 11, where she physically intervenes to save the Doctor from the hearse. This continuity carries her character arc forward.
