Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara's impulsive act of teleporting away in Episode 21 (fueled by fear) is mirrored by Susan's secret defiance in Episode 22 (where she follows the Doctor despite his instructions). Both actions stem from a desire to take control in chaotic situations, despite the Doctor's contrary guidance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
These parallel acts by the companions highlight their growing frustration with the Doctor's decisions. Barbara's impulsiveness leads to a crisis (abduction), while Susan's defiance is subtler but still a rebellion against his authority. This continuity builds the companions' collective independence from the Doctor.
