Logopolis	Resurrection of the Daleks

On the way to Heathrow Airport for her first day as an air stewardess, Tegan's car got a puncture. Entering a nearby police box, she was transported to the alien world of Logopolis where she witnessed the Fourth Doctor's regeneration. Shortly after, on Deva Loka, Tegan's mind became host to a snake-like evil called the Mara. It twice attempted to use Tegan as a conduit to return to corporeal form, an experience that was deeply distressing.

Always forthright and often difficult, Tegan bade the Doctor and Turlough an emotional farewell after preventing the Daleks from arriving in 1980s London. According to Sarah Jane Smith, Tegan became a campaigner for Aboriginal rights in her native Australia.
