Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Daleks’ technological independence from human power (a progression from Episode 13) underlies their shift from manipulation to full-scale genocide in Episode 14, framing the entire conflict as survival against omnivorous autonomy.
