Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ace’s guilt and vow to save Susan in the Waiting Zone are echoed when the Doctor stages a reunion with Ace and Susan in Forum Square. Ace’s palpable relief at seeing the Doctor and her immediate alignment with the rebellion reflects her earlier commitment to protect Susan and resist the regime’s brutality."
