Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In episode 13, Turlough's sabotage is exposed as he tampered with TARDIS circuitry to gain control. In episode 7, Tegan and Turlough discover the TARDIS is inexplicably locked from inside after landing on Frontios, trapping them. The conflict escalates from covert tampering that is caught to a full system lockout that prevents crew access."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The sabotage in episode 13 demonstrates that Turlough has both motive and technical capability to interfere with TARDIS systems. The lockout in episode 7 represents an escalation of this threat—from attempted control to actual denial of access. The crew's trust is further eroded as they face an even more severe consequence of internal TARDIS vulnerability.
