How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's rescue of Nyssa (Episode 7) is immediately followed by Tegan's gallows humor about staking a claim on the unknown (Episode 13), a coping mechanism that underscores the companions' shared trauma from temporal instability."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan's humor in Episode 13 functions as a deferred reaction to the companions' shared vulnerability. Her joking about 'staking a claim' parallels the Doctor's desperate physical intervention for Nyssa, framing humor as a response to disempowerment.
