It's from the single most inexplicable scene in Tommy, even more so than the disturbing baked bean sequence, which I found more disturbing than most because I have a whole Anne Margaret thing and it never involved any damn baked beans. Scant moments after the scene in the avatar, Tommy swoops in via hnag glider and saves the day, if I recall correctly. It is not tied to the plot or explained in any linear way.
