Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Turlough and Tegan's struggles to escape through the underfloor areas escalate their desperation, leading to Tegan's discovery of the panel exit. This mirrors the Doctor's group's escalating need to escape the liner and enter Terminus, reinforcing the story's theme of survival in a hostile environment."
