How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek enforces absolute compliance through pragmatic commands in response to the Doctor's disruptions. In Ep 21, it immediately orders a technical fault corrected to resume pursuit. In Ep 42, it uses psychic compulsion to force the Doctor's group into compliance, issuing the unanswerable command 'Follow me.'"
