Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana’s spontaneous invocation of Salyavin in Part 4 is explicitly echoed when the Doctor and Romana unravel Skagra’s origins, referencing Salyavin’s expulsion from Gallifrey and the mythos that both Romana and the Doctor now dissect together."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The callback is textually clear: Romana names Salyavin under duress in Part 4, and by Part 6, Romana and the Doctor reflect on Salyavin as a historical figure shaping Skagra’s existence. This creates a resonant arc of suppressed knowledge returning to disrupt Skagra’s plan.
