The narrative assertion
"Susan's physical resilience against Aztec captors (assisting with the pulley system despite duress) carries forward into her mental resilience against Sensorite telepathy, both tested in hostile environments."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 30, Susan maintains her composure and physical stamina while assisting Ian and the Doctor under life-threatening conditions in the Aztec temple. This endurance evolves into Episode 32 where she becomes the first to recognize the Sensorites' telepathic control and initiates a resistance strategy, demonstrating that her ability to remain steady under mental pressure is an extension of her capacity to withstand physical and psychological enemy tactics.
