Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Vicki's paranoia and fear of unseen antagonists (Koquillion) in her confession to Barbara (Episode 10) foreshadow her visceral reaction to the Zarbi's appearance in the TARDIS (Episode 17). The same actress/character responds with immediate, instinctive terror to an invisible force manifesting physically."

Her breakdown over the massacre and her belief that 'he could keep me here forever' resurface when the Zarbi breach the TARDIS, suggesting her trauma is ongoing and her coping mechanisms are fragile.
