Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Tegan’s profound psychological trauma from the Mara’s possession continues into Mawdryn Undead, where she remains in a state of high emotional tension, mirrored by Turlough’s own hidden trauma and manipulation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Tegan’s voice in Snakedance Pt 4 — terrified and lost — evolves into a quieter but still present anxiety in Mawdryn Undead. This shows her character’s continuity: still fragile three episodes later, reacting to unresolved control issues.
