Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's defiance of Mawdryn's authority on the TARDIS ('refuses to allow him control') echoes the mutants' later recognition of the Doctor's unyielding nature ('He will not give up so easily'). Both moments emphasize resisting Mawdryn's coercion."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan and the mutants form a thematic parallel: they both refuse Mawdryn's false authority (as the Doctor) and later his false promises, reinforcing that his power rests only on desperation, not truth.
