The narrative assertion

"Tegan's skepticism of the Doctor’s warnings in Terminus carries into the TARDIS, where she questions the energy drain as a 'leak' and shows caution in response to the Doctor's escalation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This parallelizes Tegan’s grounded pragmatism across episodes. In both contexts, she resists the Doctor’s urgent warnings—Tegan doubts the Lazar plague’s severity in Terminus and dismisses the power drain as a leak in the TARDIS—highlighting her persistent role as the skeptic among supernatural threats.
