Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Turlough's abandonment of Tegan in Episode 15 (leaving her alone and vulnerable) escalates into a life-or-death struggle in Episode 16 as the automated departure sequence forces Tegan to confront both the station's dangers and her partner's betrayal."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Thematic and narrative escalation: Turlough's earlier breach of trust deepens the stakes in Episode 16, where Tegan must physically and emotionally fight the consequences of his choices. This mirrors Tegan's pragmatic nature clashing with Turlough's manipulations.
