Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Susan's validation of her own perceptions in Episode 5 (despite the Doctor's skepticism) transitions into a dramatic breakdown where she weaponizes her instincts (e.g., brandishing scissors). This reflects her internal conflict: her need for independence (Episode 5) clashes with her reliance on the Doctor's authority, leading to instability (Episode 12).
