How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights the Doctor’s unreliability—first promising safety to the Old Woman, then breaking that promise. It culminates in Episode 4 with his failure to return them home, reinforcing the theme of unintended consequences and broken vows.
