How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Susan's advocacy for the Thals' suffering in Episode 7 (cand_evt_scene_26cb769b415aaaa7_01) directly parallels Barbara's later observation of the Thals in Episode 8, where she identifies them as vulnerable to the Daleks' ambush. Susan's compassion for the Thals (seen in her defense of their trustworthiness and need for help) is mirrored in Barbara's protective impulse."
