Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The skull imagery Tegan spots on the TARDIS scanner in Episode 13 foreshadows the skull motif on Eirak’s helmet and the Garm’s symbol in Episode 14. Both are deathly, symbolic warnings of an inescapable force—one personal (the Black Guardian), the other institutional (Terminus)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The recurring image of the skull acts as a thematic thread connecting the Black Guardian’s manipulation (Episode 13) with Terminus’s oppressive regime (Episode 14). It reinforces the sense of an unseen, malevolent control system that governs both Turlough’s actions and the station’s sterilization protocols.
