Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection reinforces the idea that Susan is a central figure whose telepathic abilities are both an asset and a source of conflict. The Doctor's earlier insistence on her importance is validated by the group's later reassurance, highlighting her critical role in navigating the Sensorite conflict.
