How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara and Ian's demand to return home in Episode 35 (searching for belonging) foreshadows Steven's arrival in Episode 36 as a displaced person (pilot) needing a new home, creating a narrative bookend of orphaned characters entering Vicki/Doctor's orbit."
