Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan’s skepticism toward the Doctor’s plan in Episode 5—challenging him about whether psychic projections are ‘real enough’—stems from her prior experiences with alien threats and the Doctor’s ambiguous morality. In Episode 4, she questions the use of lethal gas; in Episode 5, she questions the nature of reality itself."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan’s journey shows a growing sophistication in her skepticism: first toward alien threats, then toward the Doctor’s explanations. Her pragmatism evolves into metaphysical doubt, rooted in repeated exposure to impossible dangers. This continuity makes her voice the audience’s anchor in the surreal.
