Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In E11, Nyssa 'disengages from fear and mechanically opens the TARDIS [doors]' to free Mawdryn despite Tegan's skepticism. In E12, she confronts the Doctor with 'visible distress' about the mutants' suffering, showing her evolving empathy and willingness to challenge authority when faced with ethical dilemmas.
