Why This Matters Across Episodes

Susan’s proactive leadership in Episode 2 (taking initiative to climb the pipe first) evolves into a physical and emotional pillar of support in Episode 3. She shares the Doctor’s burden of reassurance and action, reinforcing her growing agency as a Time Lord descendant and protector.
