Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Tegan's instinctive use of the lamp (a weapon) against the Tractators in Episode 9 establishes her as a proactive defender, a trait that continues when she faces the Gravis in Episode 10. Her moral questioning of the Doctor in Episode 10 also reflects her evolving role as an ethical anchor, shaped by her experiences in Episode 9.
