Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor’s emotional reaction to Romana’s peril in Episode 11 (calling her name, searching for her) is structurally mirrored by her later intellectual presence—she guides him through gel electrophoresis despite being unconscious or separated. This reflects her consistent role as a problem-solving partner.
