Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection highlights Tegan's unwilling role as a pawn in the Terileptils' genocidal plan in Part 3, which then translates directly into her vulnerability and dependence on the Doctor in Part 4. Her inability to resist the control bracelet in Part 3 sets up her later disorientation and physical collapse when freed, reinforcing her character's arc of being unwillingly subjected to external forces beyond her control.
