Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s command to act immediately in Frontios ("Follow me") elicits Tegan’s instinctive compliance, representing her early willingness to follow his lead. By Resurrection, Tegan’s farewell—delivered through tears—marks her rejection of this role, emphasizing her internal erosion of trust in the Doctor’s ethical compass. Her physical departure literalizes what was emotionally happening in Frontios: the Doctor’s actions are forcing her to reconsider her alliance.
