Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In both episodes, the Doctor's protective instinct toward his companions drives decisive action. In Episode 43, the escape is premeditated; in Episode 501, it is reactive. This shows the Doctor learning from the Daleks' threat to prioritize companion safety, even as the danger shifts from one enemy to another.
