Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Terrall's violent collapse during the sword duel, revealing his Dalek-induced mental control, directly foreshadows his later collapse beside the Doctor in the spacecraft, where he again lies incapacitated due to external force (energy snake), showing a pattern of being struck down when exerting will."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Terrall's character arc is defined by moments of violent interruption (whether by Dalek psychic pain or energy snake attack) that reduce him to a passive, motionless state, emphasizing his role as a pawn in larger conflicts and the Doctor's repeated failure to prevent his suffering.
