Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ace’s moment of emotional authenticity with Mel in Ep 13 establishes her as someone capable of deep trust. When the Doctor’s lie about Proamon’s existence is revealed in Ep 14, Ace’s faith in the Doctor is shattered—mirroring her earlier vulnerability and showing how her trust was fragile to begin with.
