Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Romana’s shifting relationship with the Doctor—from patient observer of his technical foible (Episode 1) to vocal opponent of his recklessness (Episode 4)—signals her growth and establishes her as a counterbalance to the Doctor’s impulsive genius. This continuity arcs over the episodes.
