Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Tegana's metaphor in Episode 15 serves as a thematic callback in Episode 16, where his orchestration of events (TARDIS ambush, Barbara's capture) reflects his strategic, deadly 'game' in moving pieces to his advantage.

About Callback Connections
