Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events show the Doctor forced to confront limits—he was powerless to stop Adric’s sacrifice when the Cybermen exploited his emotions, and now Tegan’s grief leads her to reject fixed points. This reveals a growing theme of emotional vulnerability vs. logic.
