Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jamie’s anxiety over Zoe’s disappearance (in Episode 3) continues in Episode 4 as Zoe’s personal agency and defiance are highlighted—while Jamie is absent, Zoe acts independently, fulfilling her own goals."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s protective instincts in Episode 3 (worrying about Zoe’s safety due to Dulcian secrecy) contrast with Zoe’s self-reliant actions in Episode 4 (investigating the power unit). Though Jamie is not present, his role as her protector remains a thematic backdrop. This reinforces Zoe’s growth as an autonomous agent separate from the Doctor and Jamie.
