Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In E11, Tegan and Nyssa discuss temporal anomalies ('That's what must have happened to the Tardis'), showing their scientific curiosity. In E12, they confront the Doctor about his own 'regenerative limits' and 'eternal fate,' reinforcing the theme of questioning authority and understanding the consequences of temporal mechanics.
