Why These Connect
The narrative assertion

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Jamie's character arc of growing agency and risk-taking. The Doctor's impulsive heroism in Episode 25 creates a void that Jamie fills with his own desperate actions in Episode 26, escalating both the plot and Jamie's personal stakes.
