Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zoe's immediate concern for Jamie's safety in Part 6 (cand_evt_scene_9c7a22395a7e883a_01) sets up Jamie's continued presence as a catalyst for the Doctor's forced surrender under crushing threat in Part 7 (cand_evt_scene_0dbf049627efe432_01). The emotional stakes of Jamie's vulnerability escalate from rescue attempts to life-and-death surrender."

It highlights the Doctor's protective instincts and the narrative continuity of Jamie's endangerment driving critical decisions.
