"Tegan’s pragmatic defiance of Nyssa’s scientific caution in Episode 2 (‘suggests accessing the databank’) escalates into her aggressive demands to see the Doctor in Episode 3, despite being in a hostile environment."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan’s earlier insistence on manual control and databank access in Episode 2 is mirrored in Episode 3 by her blunt demands to confront Castrovalva’s leaders. This escalation reflects her growing assertion of agency and frustration with reliance on others’ expertise, despite the risks.
