Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vicki's paralyzing fear of heights in Episode 35 (symbolizing existential fear) parallels Steven's refusal to 'see' beyond the TARDIS's surface in Episode 36 (a metaphorical fear of unknowns), both showing characters resisting change through avoidance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This establishes Vicki's role as someone who overcomes fear (heights) contrasted with Steven's initial fear impeding belief (in the TARDIS), foreshadowing their complementary dynamics.
