Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Vicki’s isolation is compounded by Ian's inability to help (trapped in alien snare) and the Doctor's absence, making her the sole actor in Episode 17’s crisis. Her later interrogation by the Doctor reflects this unresolved abandonment.
