Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Turlough’s act of abandoning the group to seek an escape in Episode 15 leaves Tegan alone in the corridor. This isolation directly sets up their shared entrapment under the floor plates in Episode 16, where they are forced to cooperate (however uncertainly) to survive and re-materialize the TARDIS doorway."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a causal chain that binds Turlough and Tegan’s relationship across episodes. His earlier selfishness fractures trust and creates the scenario where they are physically trapped together, forcing an uneasy rapprochement under pressure.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
