Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's unresolved identity conflict with her duplicate from Episode 10 is mirrored when the Doctor and Karuna rush to rouse her from a trance in Episode 12. This trance is also a psychic vulnerability, reinforcing the theme of fragmented identity and external possession as ongoing threats."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback underscores the persistent psychological torment faced by Tegan, where past conflicts (her duplicate) and new threats (Mara's psychic hold) are intertwined. It also highlights the Doctor's role in navigating her crises.
About Callback Connections
