Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

This connection illustrates Tegan's trajectory from skepticism of deception to frustration with the Doctor's inability to solve problems within human constraints. Her consistency in questioning authority (even the Doctor's) deepens her character arc and highlights her humanity in contrast to his alien nature.
