Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dodo's initial encounter with the savage in 'The Savages' introduces her compassionate yet vulnerable position, which later manifests in her susceptibility to manipulation by WOTAN in 'The War Machines'. Her instinct to help the weak is inverted in 'The War Machines', where she becomes the agent of control over others."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection tracks Dodo's psychological arc from compassion to susceptibility to manipulation. Her willingness to assist the seemingly weak (the savage) foreshadows her later role as a hypnotized assistant to WOTAN, highlighting the erosion of her agency.
