Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Dalek Supreme's order to destroy an alien spacecraft ('Mission to the Unknown') parallels the Black Dalek's confirmation of invasion readiness ('The Nightmare Begins'), escalating the threat from reactive hunting to proactive planetary coordination."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Dalek Supreme’s directive to annihilate intelligence-bearing ships in Episode 5 directly escalates into the Black Dalek’s confirmation of invasion preparations in Episode 10. The subordinate Dalek 2’s role in relaying orders in both episodes underscores the continuity of tactical execution evolving into strategic dominance.
