Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's presence in both episodes links the conflicts: she experiences possession by the Mara's psychic force in Snakedance Part 4 and is a key witness to Borusa's authoritarian schemes in The Five Doctors Part 1."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan as a continuity character bridges the two episodes, embodying the threat posed by institutional forces (Mara as psychic entity / Borusa as manipulator) and the need for resistance.
