Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Peri's survival hinges on the Doctor's ability to leverage his scientific curiosity and ingenuity—a trait consistently demonstrated since Episode 19. His willingness to take risks to save her is a direct extension of his protectiveness, which is tested throughout both episodes.
