How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This is the primary causal link driving Nyssa's character trajectory — her forced displacement from the TARDIS immediately places her within Terminus's mortal danger, fulfilling the Doctor's grim prediction. The spatial dislocation creates the central conflict of Part 2: Nyssa's physical degradation within an exploitative medical system.
