Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Susan's decision to leave the Doctor (in Episode 7) to escape Dalek threats directly causes the sewer ambush by Robomen in Episode 8, as it sets the stage for the surviving group's continued movement and vulnerability."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Susan's choice to prioritize survival over waiting for the Doctor creates immediate peril that carries over into Episode 8, where the group's location in the sewers exposes them to Robomen. This shows Susan's shifting loyalty from familial protection (Doctor) to pragmatic survival (escaping Daleks), a key evolution in her leadership.
