Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's melancholic reflection on losing Susan in the first event is echoed in the second event, where the Doctor again invokes Susan's memory while processing Steven's departure and Dodo's arrival, reinforcing his recurring sense of loss."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Susan Foreman is explicitly mentioned in both events' participants—first as part of the Doctor's grief over Ian and Barbara, and second as a touchstone in his monologue about lost companions. This callback traces Susan's lingering influence on the Doctor's emotional landscape and his pattern of companion turnover.
