Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

"The aftermath of the Doctor’s victory over the Malus (where companions try to delay departure) echoes in Peri’s forced detention aboard the TARDIS, now under the Master’s control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes involve companions resisting the Doctor’s departure—Tegan manipulatively in Episode 6 and Peri helplessly in Episode 16—but flip from agency to control. This reflects the shift from agency to captivity under external domination.
