Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Arbitan's warning to the Doctor ('If when you return, you find the Voord have taken this building, do not let them get the keys. You understand? Destroy them!') foreshadows Barbara's desperate struggle to destroy Morphoton's influence when she alone sees the city's decay."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both events involve a companion (Barbara) being the sole resister to corruption or control, with Arbitan's ominous command echoing her later fight against Morphos' illusions.
