Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Turlough's pattern of betrayal to serve the Black Guardian in Episode 20 (betraying the Doctor to Wrack) is mirrored in Episode 22 where he is framed as a murderer and villain, showing the Black Guardian's continued manipulation of others to isolate and control the Doctor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Turlough's sustained role as a pawn of the Black Guardian across episodes. His actions in Episode 20 (betraying the Doctor) set up his defensive posture in Episode 22 (accused of murder), where he is again used as a tool to harm the Doctor or his allies. The recurring theme of betrayal and false accusations tied to the Black Guardian’s influence drives the arc of Turlough’s psychological battle.
