Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's moral outrage at the Daleks' 'senseless, evil killing' in Episode 11 parallels Susan's paranoia in Episode 12, where she perceives the TARDIS figuratively 'killing' her—her companions become the perceived enemy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes explore 'the trusted figure as perceived threat': the Doctor is horrified by the Daleks' genocide; Susan, in crisis, sees Barbara as a threat to her safety. The parallel deepens the theme of shared trauma fracturing trust.
