Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's habit of making solo decisions (seen when he initially resists Ian's caution in Episode 21) continues as he plans to travel alone to Millenius in Episode 22, prompting Susan to defy him by secretly adjusting her time dial."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's tendency to act independently despite Ian's objections in Episode 21 reinforces his behavioral pattern in Episode 22 where he plans to leave the group. This drives Susan's defiance, showing how the Doctor's actions escalate interpersonal tensions.
