Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection establishes a direct causal thread where Turlough's fall overboard and capture in Ep 19 sets up his vulnerable position in Ep 20. It carries Tegan's concern for Turlough's safety across episodes, as his capture is the inciting incident for her confrontation with the Doctor about Turlough's choices.
