Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's agitated explanation of TARDIS entropy strain (Part 1) foreshadows his inability to address emotional entropy in Tegan (Part 2), as his focus remains technical and avoidant."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's fixation on mechanical failure ('wheezing like a grampus') in Part 1 reflects his later refusal to engage with Tegan’s human crisis in Part 2, revealing his prioritization of systems over people.
