Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Adric's functional expertise about E-space and alien navigation ('We thought we'd save you the trouble and come to you') parallels his later role in assisting with TARDIS mechanics, underscoring Tegan/Nyssa's reliance on understudies during crises."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes highlight improvisation under pressure using external knowledge (aliens vs. TARDIS systems), showing how companions collectively address crises when the Doctor is vulnerable—Adric's absence in Part 2 ironically emphasizes his temporary necessity.
