Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zoe’s initial assertion that they must get to the Sidrat’s base (Part 4) leads directly to her being forced into a position where she reveals intelligence under interrogation, which the Doctor later uses to organize resistance — fulfilling her earlier desire to act against the system."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zoe’s proactive agenda in Part 4 ('That's where we've got to get to') reflects her analytical and mission-driven approach. Though she is captured and interrogated in Part 5, her intelligence — extracted via the helmet device — becomes the very tool the Doctor uses to counter the War Lords. Her continuity lies in the outcome: what she learns under duress is weaponized by her and the Doctor to fight back.
