Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Jo's responsibility for Barnham and her competence in handling fragile situations (as seen when Summers entrusts Barnham to her care) directly leads to her defiance of Yates' orders to stay behind in UNIT HQ. Her sense of duty and agency, honed in Ep 10, propels her to investigate independently in Ep 11."
