Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian's challenge to the Doctor's authority in Episode 5 (demanding they leave the city) continues in Episode 6 when he exposes the Doctor's lie about the fluid link. This escalation of mistrust and leadership is a direct result of Ian's growing protective role."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
