Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection illustrates a critical evolution in Susan’s character — her traumatic experiences in Episode 6 (e.g., witnessing executions, David’s steadfast refusal to flee) intensify her desire to escape. This emotional momentum carries into Episode 7, where she justifies leaving the incapacitated Doctor for the sake of survival, revealing a fracture in her identity and loyalty to her grandfather.
