Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 18, the Doctor acts on instinct to save Idas without hesitation. In Episode 11, once Romana is safe, he immediately engages in calm scientific reasoning (discussing hyperspace navigation). This contrast reveals his internal conflict: urgent action versus intellectual curiosity.
