Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan's handing over the sketch to Enlightenment in Ep 5 allows Monarch's surveillance system to analyze their ship and origin. This intelligence leads directly to Ep 6’s command where Monarch orders Persuasion to neutralize the Doctor’s influence by exploiting his curiosity and separating him from Tegan and Adric. The sketch’s observation seeds the separation trap.
