Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's capture by Cybermen in Earthshock leaves her with a heightened sense of vulnerability, which manifests in Time Flight as she takes immediate alarm at airport security approaching. Both scenes highlight her defensiveness and protectiveness over the Doctor and Nyssa."
