Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s justification for non-interference in Episode 25 (history is unchangeable) is contrasted by his pragmatic use of Dodo’s biological vulnerability (cold) as proof of humanity in Episode 26, suggesting a shift in his ethical stance or a rebuttal to Steven’s critique."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s earlier insistence that he cannot change history is directly invoked when he uses Dodo’s physical symptom—a symptom Steven might recognize from Anne’s time—to prove humanity, implying a shift in strategy or a direct response to Steven’s accusations.
