Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both scenes show Tegan observing and acting upon hierarchical control within the group—Turlough's confinement and the Brigadier's restrictive orders. Her defiance in Episode 11 (""Tegan calls out Brigadier’s chauvinism"") reflects an escalation of her role as a challenger to authority figures.
