Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Exorse’s rescue of Steven and Dodo from the primitives in Episode 1 (validating the Doctor’s claim that the area is safe) contrasts with the Doctor’s dismissal of Dodo’s disappearance in Episode 2, deepening Steven’s disillusionment with the Doctor’s optimism."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
