Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Victoria’s fear—voiced as 'I'm always frightened'—and her emotional state post-crisis in Episode 34 carry over into Episode 35. The Doctor’s dismissive reassurance ('she'll be perfectly all right') reflects a continuity of both character behavior (Victoria’s timidity) and the TARDIS crew’s unresolved emotional burden after losing Victoria as a companion.
