Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Susan’s defiance of the Doctor’s authority by secretly following him in Morphoton escalates into the companions being scattered and individually targeted in The Snows of Terror—Susan is held hostage by Vasar, Barbara and Ian are separated, and the group’s cohesion is further eroded."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The breakdown of trust and fracture of the TARDIS crew into smaller, vulnerable units begins in Episode 22 with Susan’s quiet rebellion and culminates in Episode 24 with Vasar’s hostage-taking and the group’s desperate dispersion across the mountains.
