Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The TARDIS's imprisonment by Arbitan’s force field (Episode 21) mirrors the companions' psychological imprisonment in Morphoton (Episode 22). The antogonists’ control over the companions’ freedom escalates from physical restraint to mental manipulation, showing a progression in the nature of captivity across episodes.
