Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara's realization that the Doctor is not present ('I wish the Doctor were here', Episode 6) is echoed in Episode 7 when she acts without him, channeled through adrenaline and instinct—both events reflecting her emotional trajectory from reliance to autonomy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional through-line of Barbara 'wishing' for the Doctor ties her character arc together. In Episode 7, she no longer wishes—she acts. The echo underscores her transformation under pressure, a key component of her trajectory from companion to leader.
