Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Tegan's emotional investment in the Doctor's safety and her pragmatic skepticism (shaped by witnessing his regenerative limits) make her especially vigilant against perceived threats to the TARDIS in Episode 13. This creates a consistent throughline where Tegan's protectiveness over the Doctor and the TARDIS expands to include suspicion of Turlough.
