Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan’s immediate decision to follow the Doctor outside the TARDIS into danger on Earth (Episode 19; cand_evt_scene_e6af2074754929e1_1) leads directly to her urgent shepherding of survivors toward the TARDIS when the bomb is armed in Episode 20 (cand_evt_scene_c7a62ce97a3816b2_1). Her instinct to stay close to the Doctor in perilous situations roots her role as caretaker in both scenes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This forges a clear cause-and-effect chain: Tegan’s loyalty and physical proximity to the Doctor in Part 1 results in her life-saving leadership in Part 2. It establishes a recurring motif of Tegan acting as the stabilizing human presence in crisis.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
