Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's shift from proactive pursuit of Dojjen (to destroy the Mara) to reassuring Tegan about her liberation from the Mara's psychic influence shows his evolving role as both the pursuer of threats and the stabilizer of his companions' emotional states."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Nyssa's observation of the Doctor's pivot from grand strategic engagements (Mara) to intimate psychological stabilization (Tegan). The Doctor's disciplined pragmatism, honed during the Mara crisis, now extends to companion care, reflecting Nyssa's own arc of balancing morality with pragmatism.
