Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's defiant confidence at the crypt (E2) directly precedes her alarm at the device's activation and her instinct to hide in the Pump Room (E3), showing her growing physical vulnerability and need for caution."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The confidence she projects despite Stuart's caution in E2 transitions into a moment of vulnerability in E3, where her curiosity turns to alarm. This mirrors her character arc from rigid skepticism to a more receptive (but still guarded) stance toward the strange and dangerous.
