Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's survival pragmatism in the spaceship wreckage ('her pragmatic concerns clashing...') echoes her refusal to follow the Doctor in Episode 26, where she can't commit despite wanting to ('So did I'). Both events highlight her grounding in practical, earthbound choices."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection reinforces Tegan's identity as a grounded professional (air hostess) resisting the Doctor's abstract, timey-wimey world. Her continuity as a pragmatist conflicts with her emotional need to belong, driving her defiance.
