How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In both episodes, the Doctor acts alone or becomes separated from his companion—Sarah is captured in 1401, and in 1808 he insists on confronting Meglos alone, dismissing Romana’s warnings."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s recurring pattern of isolating himself from companions underlines his protective yet isolating leadership, a key aspect of his moral conflict: he shoulders responsibility alone, often at the cost of his companions’ trust or safety.
