Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's willingness to carry the Doctor to confront the Portreeve in Castrovalva (EP4) foreshadows her pragmatic assertiveness in taking charge when the Doctor splits the team aboard the alien ship (EP5). Both scenes highlight her immediate, unquestioning action in physically supporting the group's safety when the Doctor's leadership creates vulnerability."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's reliance on Tegan (and Nyssa) for physical support in Castrovalva's collapse establishes a pattern of trust in their practical competence. This directly carries into Episode 5, where Tegan's frustration with the Doctor's delay ('loss of control' over her job in EP5 echoes her earlier practical focus) aligns with her readiness to handle crises independently—even when the Doctor's decisions put them at risk.
