Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven and Sara’s capture by the Hyksos and Daleks (Ep 18) is directly referenced when the Doctor demands their release during the prisoner exchange terms (Ep 19). Their captivity is the emotional and narrative spine linking both episodes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
