Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan’s mocking, brittle rejection of Nyssa in the marketplace (Snakedance Part 2) directly mirrors her later ruthless pragmatism in demanding the Great Crystal from Lon (Snakedance Part 3). Both scenes showcase Tegan’s rapid descent into dominance and utilitarianism under the Mara’s influence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Tegan’s character trajectory from skepticism tinged with mockery (rejecting Nyssa’s warnings) to outright authoritarian control (demanding the Crystal). It highlights her growing detachment from her former self and alignment with the Mara’s will.
