Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tyler's abandonment of the resistance after the saucer raid failure (cand_evt_scene_492fe4988579c90c_01) escalates the theme of fractured unity, which parallels the individual desperation seen in Episode 7, such as Ian's risky actions to protect Wells and Larry from the Roboman."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The theme of collapse under Dalek pressure, introduced by Tyler's withdrawal, intensifies in Episode 7 where alliances are tentative, resources scarce, and moral compromises (e.g., dealing with Ashton) highlight the resistance's desperation.
