Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Zero Cabinet's exposure of Castrovalva's false reality and trapped inhabitants (including Adric) precedes Tegan's claustrophobic panic in the Terileptils' cell, suggesting a temporal echo where trapped spaces and minds recur. The Doctor's removal of powerpacks in The Visitation is a direct response to the Terileptils' use of devices to dominate minds, mirroring the Master's use of the tapestry."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both devices (tapestry and powerpacks) are tools of temporal/psychological domination that the Doctor must dismantle. The Zero Cabinet's revelation of Castrovalva's falsehood and the powerpacks' behavioral control represent two sides of the same conflict: the Doctor fighting entities that trap or alter reality and minds.
