Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian's proactive, combative approach to the Dalek threat in E31 ('we must stand and confront them') directly leads to his insistence in E32 on confronting the Daleks rather than fleeing, despite Barbara and Vicki's reservations."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian's character arc as a fighter who refuses to evade danger drives his behavior from proposing a risky plan to lure the Dalek (E31) to advocating for a direct confrontation (E32). This escalation reflects his evolving role as the crew's moral and strategic counterbalance to the Doctor's evasion.
