Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's attempt to abandon Peri in Episode 24 by stranding her 'safely' in the TARDIS mirrors his earlier paranoid violence (Episode 23), but escalates to passive-aggressive manipulation, further isolating Peri."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation reveals the Doctor's deepening instability—from overt aggression to calculated manipulation—while Peri's resourcefulness (reviving Lang, asserting control) counters it, intensifying their conflict arc.
