Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian's departure on a rescue mission (Episode 23) echoes Vicki's anxious questioning of the Doctor in Episode 24: 'You wouldn’t go off and leave me, would you?' Both scenes emphasize the companions' fear of abandonment as they navigate perilous missions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection deepens Vicki's character trajectory as a survivor of abandonment (her father not dying in the crash, as per the lens) who now fears repeating the experience. The emotional echo binds the two episodes' themes of separation and vulnerability.
