Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Castrovalva, the Master asserts control over Castrovalvan resistors (e.g., dragging him back into the tunnel), while in The Visitation, the Terileptils assert control over London and the TARDIS crew via mind-altering powerpacks. Both episodes depict antagonists physically and psychologically dominating the Doctor's environment and allies."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The thematic tension of external forces dictating and constraining the Doctor's agency—whether through spatial traps or psychological devices—is mirrored in both episodes. This repetition underscores the broader conflict arc: the Doctor resisting entities who seek to dominate reality and minds.
