Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wester’s sacrifice exposes the Daleks’ own weapon as a trap (cand_evt_scene_f248f6e97f9005e8_1), foreshadowing the Doctor’s later realization that the cooling plant is sabotaged (cand_evt_scene_66ba95532c19aad2_1). Both events show the Daleks’ plans backfiring due to sabotage."
