Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' ruthless dismissal of non-human life (Episode 31) establishes their relentless pursuit, which directly causes the TARDIS crew's false sense of relief turning to alarm (Episode 32)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' systematic extermination of the Aridians (Episode 31) sets the stage for their detection of the TARDIS's Time Path Detector in Episode 32. This escalation forces the Doctor to admit he cannot evade them, raising stakes.
