Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Terileptil Leader branding the Doctor as the primary threat (E15) is echoed in the Doctor's immediate prioritization of freeing his companions (E16) to neutralize them as immediate threats to his plan."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The labeling of the Doctor as the 'primary threat' in E15 leads directly to the Doctor's defensive and corrective action in E16, where he neutralizes the mind control devices on Tegan and Mace, literally defusing the 'threat' the Leader feared.
