Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In E11, Nyssa grapples with Mawdryn's temporal sophististry ('It's true. That's what must have happened to the Tardis'), reflecting her scientific detachment. In E12, she confronts the Doctor with 'a horrified question about the mutated scientists' doomed existence,' showing her empathy for suffering having been awakened by the events of E11.
