Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vicki’s frantic search for Barbara in Episode 16 (where she’s missing from the TARDIS) echoes the TARDIS’s breach by Zarbi in Episode 17, both highlighting Vicki’s vulnerability and the Doctor’s failure to protect her companions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
