Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The companions’ deduction of the Daleks’ power source and vulnerability (static electricity) in Episode 7 directly enables their sabotage of the Dalek lift’s mechanics in Episode 8, as they use physical force (stone sculpture) to disable technology."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor and Ian’s realization that the Daleks rely on electricity in Episode 7 informs their decision to sabotage the lift’s tracks in Episode 8, showing how their understanding of the Daleks’ weaknesses grows and is applied decisively. This is a key thread of escalation in their conflict with the Daleks.
