Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The dramatic tension of the Doctor’s sudden actions sets a precedent for instability, which culminates in Tegan’s suspicion and distrust toward Nyssa regarding the Doctor’s absence. This escalates the emotional stakes and deepens the companions’ uncertainty about their situation.
