Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zoe's traumatic experience with the Cybermen in Episode 540, where she was sent into space on a high-risk mission, directly fuels her anxiety and skepticism when the Doctor promises a peaceful holiday on Dulkis in Episode 601. She explicitly asks if there will be any Cybermen or Daleks, revealing her lingering fear and need for reassurance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

This connection traces Zoe's psychological trajectory from a battle-hardened survivor of Cyberman attack to a cautious companion who no longer takes the Doctor's promises of safety at face value. It shows how the events of Episode 540 have reshaped her trust and vigilance.
