As he says in Seeds ... "she's my best friend".
A wrench maybe ... but it's what she wanted. No build up. Admirable considering the absolute arse they have made within the new series regarding such departures .... imho. And breathe.

Speaking of Seeds of Doom, she was actually going to leave in that one. But she had heard about The Masque of Mandragora and wanted to make it.

This is something i've never heard before. That would have meant they'd have to change the whole of the next season to accommodate her for two stories. Where would that leave The Deadly Assassin and the introduction of Louise Jameson? The final episode of Seeds aired on 6th March and the first episode of Masque aired on 4th September. That's only six months between the two. She must have heard about Masque very early on to not have complicated such a short turn around.

I thought it was because The Hand of Fear was moved from the end of the previous season and replaced by Seeds of Death.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

The Aztecs – Episode 1 – The Temple Of Evil

Barbara Wright: Oh, don't you see? If I could start the destruction of everything that's evil here... then everything that is good would survive when Cortez lands.
The Doctor: But you can't rewrite history! Not one line!

The Aztecs – Episode 2 – The Warriors Of Death

Cameca: You are a Healer?
The Doctor: No, no. They call me the Doctor. I am a scientist, an engineer. I am a builder of things.
Cameca: Now I understand your interest in the temple.

The Aztecs - Episode 3 – The Bride Of Sacrifice

Ian Chesterton: [of a brooch carried by the Doctor] Where did you get hold of this?
The Doctor: My fiancée
Ian Chesterton: I see... Your what?
The Doctor: Yes, I made some cocoa and got engaged. [Ian laughs] Don't giggle, my boy. It's neither here, nor there.

The Aztecs – Episode 4 – The Day Of Darkness

Barbara Wright: We failed.
The Doctor: Yes, we did. We had to.
Barbara Wright: Then what is the point of traveling through time and space? We can't change anything... Nothing! Tlotoxl had to win.
The Doctor: Yes...
Barbara Wright: And the one I had respect for, I had deceived. Poor Autloc. I gave him false hope, and in the end he lost his faith.
The Doctor: He found another faith, a better one. And that's the good you've done. You failed to save a civilization, but at least you helped one man.

Makes you wonder if it was actually deliberate though.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

The Sensorites – Episode 1 – Strangers In Space

The Doctor: I learned not to meddle in other people's affairs years ago. [Ian laughs] Now, now, now, don't be absurd. There's not an ounce of curiosity in me, my dear boy. [turns to Maitland] Now tell me, why are you in danger?

The Sensorites – Episode 4 – A Race Against Death

Administrator: These are absurd names they all have. None of them wear any signs of authority or badges of position. How are we to distinguish them? What is wrong with the other one?
2nd Elder: He has caught the disease. Their commander, the Doctor, believes our water supply is to blame.
Administrator: What a brilliant scheme. Evil, but undoubtedly brilliant.
2nd Elder: Explain.
Administrator: To attack our confidence in one of the necessities. There is nothing wrong with our water supply. Nothing at all. This is a trick to get us at their mercy.
John: Evil. Evil.
Administrator: Do you see? Even this half-broken creature here admits the truth.
2nd Elder: I must warn the First Elder. (He leaves)
John: No, no. Evil is here.
Administrator: He cannot hear you. Your mind is closed by the machine. Your voice is not believed.
John: You are my enemy.
Administrator: I am the enemy of all Earth creatures, and any Sensorite who defends them shall be swept away.
John: I must warn them of your evil. I must. I must! (He passes out)
Administrator: Your brain is too weak to harm me.
Carol: How's John? Oh, I am sorry. I thought you were one of the scientists.
Administrator: You can see my collar of office. I am the city Administrator.
Carol: Yes, I'm sorry, but when your backs are turned, it's very difficult to see. I don't know what we'd all do if you changed your badges and sashes. We wouldn't be able to tell you apart.
Administrator: I have never thought of that.

The Sensorites – Episode 6 – A Desperate Venture

Susan Foreman: Grandfather and I don't come from Earth. Oh, it's ages since we've seen our planet. It's quite like Earth, but at night the sky is a burned orange, and the leaves on the trees are bright silver.
