Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan's role as a skeptical and impatient companion is consistent across both episodes. In Episode 1, she demands orientation after a chaotic TARDIS landing, and in Episode 4, she is hustled onto the bridge of the Silurian base with little clarity. This parallel underscores her internal conflict of trust versus independence, a theme that evolves across episodes.
