Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The illusion of Adric in Episode 24 explicitly invokes his badge's shattered state as a clue to its falsity; in Episode 13, Tegan's mention of Adric's quarters and implied lingering effects of his death serves as a direct callback to the emotional weight of that earlier encounter."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The badge's shattered condition in the illusion is a physical trace of Adric's death that Nyssa uses to debunk the trap. Tegan's later reference to Adric's quarters in Episode 13 carries forward that same physical and emotional trace, showing that the characters still process Adric's loss, now through spatial memory rather than visual illusion.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
