Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara’s forced ejection from the TARDIS in The Web Planet, where she is helpless against the planet’s unseen forces, mirrors her later role as a grounding presence trying to console the Doctor after Vicki’s capture in Journey into Terror. Both events highlight her protective instincts toward the Doctor despite his failures."
