Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events feature Tegan surveying wreckage (spaceship wreckage in Episode 23, Airport terminal in Episode 26) and pausing at a threshold (decayed corridors vs. departure gates). These physical and psychological boundaries mirror her struggle to navigate collapsing realities."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
