Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Nyssa's decision to stay on Terminus to synthesize Hydromel and free the Vanir demonstrates her growth into a selfless, independent healer who prioritizes helping others over personal safety. In the Dalek scene, her presence and concern for the Doctor reflect that same commitment to the Doctor's cause and her continued role as a caring companion."
