Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The debate over trust in Daleks (Temmosus' diplomacy vs. Alydon's instinct) in Episode 8 parallels Alydon's eventual rejection of pacifism in Episode 9, with Ganatus' revelation of the swampland's undefended nature acting as a catalyst for this change."
