Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Sixth Doctor's secret transformation into a Fendahleen (embodying the Fendahl's parasitism) parallels the systemic parasitism of the Pluto Company, where citizens are drained of resources and life force by oppressive taxation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes explore the theme of insidious control—whether psychic (Fendahl) or bureaucratic (Pluto Company)—and the Doctor's confrontation with it. The transformation's revelation in Episode 12 foreshadows the pervasive, exploitative systems in Episode 13.
