Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's earlier peril at the cliff edge (Episode 10) directly escalates into a recurring theme of Romana's vulnerability and the Doctor's absence, driving Romana to take independent investigative action in Episode 12."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The sequence of Romana's near-death fall followed by her proactive, almost desperate investigation into Vivien Fay's secrets shows a clear transformation in Romana's role—from a companion in peril to a leader making tough choices. This mirrors her earlier fear and helplessness, reinforcing her identity crisis and dependence on her own judgment rather than waiting for rescue.
