Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan’s choice to stay with Nyssa (Ep 24) echoes the Doctor’s later investment in saving both companions, with Nyssa’s psychic abilities revealed as critical to decrypting the Xeraphin threat."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier act of loyalty (Tegan protecting Nyssa) foreshadows the sanctum’s climax where Nyssa’s sensitivity to the Xeraphin’s power becomes pivotal. Hayter’s gradual acceptance of extraordinary phenomena bridges this evolution.
