Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mawdryn's false identity and false claims as the Doctor in Episode 10 set up the conflict where Tegan must actively refuse to surrender control of the TARDIS to an impostor in Episode 11. The presence of Mawdryn as an immediate threat directly enables Tegan's skeptical vigilance in Episode 11.
