Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s urgent creation of the anti-dream device to suppress Tegan’s link to the Mara (Episode 5) directly enables Chela’s later revelation of the Great Crystal’s resonance with the Legend of the Return (Episode 6), as the device’s presence symbolizes prior engagement with interdiction of dream-states."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s technical response to Tegan’s subconscious vulnerability in Episode 5 underpins Nyssa’s later retrieval of an anti-dream device fragment from the shattered Crystal shards in the fortune teller’s booth—highlighting how interdiction technology inadvertently reveals the artifact’s relic nature.
