Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In the first episode, Tegan witnesses the horror of passengers vaporized by the Master, confronting a mass disappearance. In the second, she learns of her cousin Colin's disappearance. This parallel ties the cosmic-scale loss she experienced with the Doctor to her personal loss, deepening her emotional stakes and motivation for seeking answers.
