Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Sara's insistence on destroying the Daleks in Episode 17 (volcano) frames her character as a proactive and aggressive agent. This trait persists in Episode 18 (Golden Death), where she is captured but still devises an escape plan, demonstrating continuity in her combative nature and alignment with the Doctor despite initial dismissalism.
