Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's role as the remover of psychological torment (ending Tegan's Mara nightmares) foreshadows his desperate attempts to restore the Brigadier's memory — both actions stem from his core function as a healer of minds broken by temporal or supernatural forces."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection spans both episodes by showing a consistent behavioral pattern in the Doctor: addressing trauma (Tegan's psychic scars, Brigadier's amnesia). It carries the narrative thread of 'restoration' that defines the Doctor's mission, tying his actions in Episode 9 to Episode 10.
