Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connects Tegan's cryptic prophecy in Ep 17 (highlighting the cosmic stakes) to the Doctor's active probe of the Eternals' game in Ep 18. It shows the Doctor's shift from passively hearing Tegan's warning to actively investigating its validity, driven by her trauma and the urgency she conveyed.
