Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian's challenge to authority in the Cave of Skulls (Episode 4), where he insists knowledge should be shared (firemaking as public skill), continues in Episode 5 when he challenges the Doctor's priorities and asserts his own leadership role."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows Ian's character arc from Episode 4's diplomatic stance (shared knowledge = shared power) to Episode 5's pragmatic leadership in dangerous situations (asserting control over the Doctor's impulsive exploration). Susan witnesses both challenges to adult authority.
