Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s use of deception (Dalek casing) in Episode 27 mirrors Vicki’s use of deception (gaming the armory computer with ‘truthful’ but misleading answers) in Episode 28, showing how outsiders exploit systemic rigidity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
