Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mel’s recognition of the Mogarians’ coup as a systemic threat ('escalation of stakes') in 'Terror of the Vervoids' parallels her later visceral reaction to the Master’s revelations about Time Lord conspiracies in 'The Ultimate Foe,' where she embodies moral outrage against institutional corruption."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
