Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 22, Tegan fights to restart a failing TARDIS console under time pressure. In Episode 23, she witnesses the TARDIS failing catastrophically as the Fifth Doctor's physical form destabilizes—mirroring her earlier struggle but on a cosmic scale."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation shows Tegan’s narrative journey from grounding the TARDIS (technical and morale support) to bearing witness to its existential failure during a crisis of identity for the Doctor himself.
