Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Daleks' initial vulnerability due to the energy blackout (established in Episode 12) directly leads to their desperate coercion of human laborers to breach the sentient city (Episode 13). Their inability to rely on weapons forces them to assert control through manipulation."
