Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ace's frustration and difficulty adapting to the Doctor's unconventional logic and unfamiliar environments persists: she clashes with the Doctor over the spacecraft location in the icebound mall, and later struggles with 1963 British currency and social customs in a café."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Ace's ongoing character arc of growth and resistance. Her inability to immediately grasp the Doctor's methods or the norms of the time periods they visit creates tension and comedy, while also showing her gradual learning process. The continuity of her struggle deepens her development as a companion learning to navigate the Doctor's world.
