Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discovery of the Dalek exhibit in Episode 26 (triggering horror in Barbara and Ian but naive curiosity in Vicki) parallels the discovery of the TARDIS exhibit in Episode 27 (where Vicki's excitement contrasts with Barbara and Ian's despondency)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Vicki's evolving role as a bridge between the familiar and the alien, as well as the group's divergent reactions to exhibits representing their past (Daleks) and future (TARDIS). It reinforces the theme of objects as totems of their journey and the broader narrative of displacement.
