Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 12, the Doctor teaches Jo to work around authority (cutting the hinge, blinding the CCTV) with implicit trust in her judgment. In Episode 21, Jo demonstrates internalized defiance against the Brigadier's orders, directly echoing her role as the Doctor's silent collaborator, suggesting moral and tactical alignment shaped by prior events.
