Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's ordeal under Leicester in Episode 25 (cand_evt_scene_2b9abbd5c2140bb9_03) escalates into a confrontation with the Dalek exhibit in Episode 26 (cand_evt_scene_e1d535f4e53d170c_01), where his trauma from past encounters resurfaces, and Vicki's ignorance of Daleks' true nature contrasts with Ian's firsthand horror."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The personal fear and deception of Episode 25 culminate in the group's reunion with the Daleks, the symbol of their deepest trauma, in Episode 26. This escalation ties their emotional arcs together and propels the narrative toward confrontation with past horrors.
