Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian’s strategic ingenuity in luring the Daleks (Episode 31) reflects in the crew’s overall tactics of misdirection and evasion, which continues when they abandon the Mary Celeste — a form of collective evasion mirroring Episode 31."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian’s diversionary tactics set a precedent for the crew’s reliance on deception and evasion under threat. In Episode 32, the crew’s absence from the Mary Celeste mirrors Ian’s earlier tactic of leading pursuers astray — a continuity of strategy driven by Ian’s earlier leadership.
