Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' public execution of a Roboman in E5 (reinforcing their absolute control) directly escalates to their violent suppression of the resistance's tactical raid in E6, where Dalek firepower and ambush tactics neutralize the attack."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' visual and thematic dominance in E5 (through executions and Robomen enforcement) sets the tone for their overwhelming response in E6. The resistance's failed ambush mirrors their earlier failure to challenge Dalek authority, highlighting the futility of direct confrontation.
