Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's revelation that the Great Intelligence has abducted Professor Travers to exploit his research on control spheres escalates into the Intelligence using Travers (possessed) to deliver a mind-drain ultimatum to the Doctor in Episode 27."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's explanation in Episode 26 that the Intelligence abducted Travers for his expertise (Episode 26) is directly followed by the Intelligence using Travers' body to demand the Doctor's mind (Episode 27). This shows the Intelligence's goal shifting from control to complete possession of the Doctor.
