How these two moments in the story relate

From
Daleks fail to destroy TARDIS
S2E31 · The Death of Time
To
Daleks abandon the Mary Celeste
S2E32 · Flight Through Eternity

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The TARDIS's invulnerability to Dalek weaponry in Episode 31 parallels the realization that the humans have abandoned the brigantine in Episode 32. In both cases, the Daleks' tools (weapons/crew) fail, leaving only pursuit as their remaining tool."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both events show the Daleks' frustration in failing to achieve their primary goal (destroying TARDIS/locating companions) despite overwhelming force or coercion. Thematic parallel highlights their inflexibility and the growing futility of their methods.
