Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dodo's flight from Tombstone with Doc Holliday (forced by the saloon chaos) leads directly to Steven and the Doctor learning of her absence in the next episode, creating a cross-episode tracking thread for Dodo's perilous journey."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Dodo's character trajectory from Episode 35 (where she is forcibly displaced from the TARDIS group) into Episode 36, where her absence becomes an urgent plot driver for Steven and the Doctor. The emotional weight of her reliance on an unreliable guide (Holliday) escalates her vulnerability, marking a clear character continuity.
