Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The sequence of breaking the Mara’s ritual controls (physically and psychically) in Snakedance sets up the theme of hidden control and constraint in Mawdryn Undead, culminating in Turlough’s literal entrapment — suggesting that resistance leads to deeper concealment and new forms of oppression.
