Narrative Connection

Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's refusal to share the power impulse compass with Sara (Episode 20) directly contributes to their capture by Daleks in Episode 21 because Sara lacks the navigational knowledge when separated from Steven."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's secrecy about the compass in Episode 20 means Sara lacks critical knowledge when navigating without him in Episode 21. This creates a breach in their cooperation, making them more vulnerable to capture—highlighting Steven's tension between trust and control.
