Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This represents a critical narrative fallout: the Doctor's decision to abandon Sarah creates the inciting incident for Episode 3's crisis. Her vulnerability and subsequent disappearance drive the immediate stakes of the episode.
