How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s companions’ vulnerability to the Ice Warriors in Episode 13 (Arden’s death, Victoria’s capture) drives Penley’s evasive behavior in Episode 14, where he avoids the Doctor’s probing questions, reflecting his guilt over past inaction."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s companions’ suffering under the Ice Warriors’ aggression forces Penley to confront his own avoidance of conflict. His evasive dialogue with the Doctor in Episode 14 (searching for Storr) reveals his unresolved guilt, linking character arcs across episodes.
