Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's confrontation with the Doctor over her recklessness and pursuit (Terminus Part 4) establishes her pattern of defiance and protectiveness toward the Doctor, which carries into her immediate reaction to the White Guardian's crisis in the TARDIS (Enlightenment Part 1)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The unresolved tension from Terminus—where Tegan directly challenges the Doctor's authority—feeds into her proactive (and at times defiant) stance in the TARDIS. Her urgency in the crisis mirrors her earlier insistence on being involved, even when warned, setting up her immediate engagement with the White Guardian's message.
