Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's forced involvement with Omega in Episode 4 creates a latent connection that manifests in Episode 5 as her subconscious programming of the TARDIS to return to Manussa—a planet tied to her unresolved trauma with the Mara."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Omega's psychological assault on Tegan (demanding she reveal secrets under duress) parallels the Mara's later manipulation of her subconscious. Both events force Tegan into positions of powerlessness that later resurface as unconscious actions (coordinate setting, nightmares). This creates a thematic thread where hostile forces exploit Tegan's vulnerabilities across episodes.
