Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jo's defiance of the Brigadier's orders to remain behind in Episode 2 (e.g., 'Sorry, sir, no time to argue. I'll go and see if I can help the Doctor') results in her being with the Doctor when the Autons ambush them in Episode 3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jo's decision to prioritize her loyalty to the Doctor over military obedience places her directly in the path of danger. This continuity tracks her character arc from self-doubt to active defiance, reinforcing her growth as a capable assistant despite (or because of) her impulsiveness.
