Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's proactive breach of the cellar barrier (Ep 14) sets off a chain reaction that leads to Tegan's mental subjugation (Ep 15). His subsequent struggle to break her conditioning represents an escalation of the psychological conflict and direct action taken by him to mitigate the consequences of the Terileptils' control.
