Although, there were a few iffy things. Like Belinda saying “I can stand up for myself” when that rebel questioned her, then just… repeating what the doctor said and not standing up for herself? It seems like a perfect opportunity to point out that she was kidnapped and wasn’t there by choice. Literally none of it was her fault. It’s Alan’s fault for murdering a bunch of people. She didn’t even realise that she’d accidentally bought Alan to the planet at that point, so why is she taking the blame?
Also, she’s very correct to point out that the Dr is not behaving well and she just wants to go home, but (out of universe) we can expect her to be around for a season of episodes so… let’s hope she keeps up the “please don’t kidnap me” energy and doesn’t just forget about it to be a regular companion
