Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven and Sara's observation of the deserted Dalek city in Episode 20 foreshadows the eerie silence of the Kembel jungle in Episode 21 as the time destructor's effects destabilize the environment."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes feature the trio confronting an unnatural absence of the Daleks. In Episode 20, it's a tactical observation (a possible trap). In Episode 21, it's the literal absence of Daleks because they're occupied by the time destructor's activation. This thematic echo ties the two episodes together, framing the Daleks' vulnerability as a narrative throughline.
