Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's rejection of being sidelined or infantilized in Part 3 (her refusal to be grouped with Nyssa as incapable of helping) mirrors her insistence on action in Part 4 despite the temporal crisis. Her resistance to condescension evolves into a demand for presence during critical decisions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan's early resistance to being treated as less than capable (a product of patriarchal assumptions like those embodied by the Brigadier) becomes a persistent trait. In Part 4, she refuses to be passive even as the Doctor makes life-altering choices, showing how her pragmatism extends to asserting her own agency.
