Doctor’s slip ignites Tegan’s furious exit

Tegan’s patience frays under the Doctor’s casual dismissal of their temporal misplacement. What began as playful banter about returning to Heathrow curdles into open contempt as he trivializes centuries of displacement. His slip about a broken mechanism—then a telltale loose handle—reveals deeper carelessness. Tegan’s mounting rage explodes into a storm of insults and a dramatic exit, abandoning the TARDIS in the 17th-century woods. The rupture exposes the fragile trust between them just as they face an unseen alien threat.
