Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The theme of 'letting go' from Episode 23 (the Doctor shutting down Tegan's attempt to save Adric) parallels Tegan's later choice in Episode 24 to stay with Nyssa rather than return to the Concorde mission. Both moments require Tegan to prioritize others' needs over her own desires."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The thematic parallel underscores Tegan's growth in accepting limitations—the Doctor could not undo Adric's death, and Tegan cannot return to the Concorde mission when Nyssa is in danger. This reflects her evolving understanding of sacrifice and duty.
