Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks’ use of Terrall as a controlled enforcer in Episode 5 mirrors the revelation in Episode 6 that Maxtible—like Terrall earlier—was forced to act against his will by the Daleks for their purposes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Terrall’s suffering and enforced obedience under Maxtible’s control in Episode 5 (as he retrieves Victoria) parallels Maxtible’s later admission of being forced to scream as bait in Episode 6. Both events showcase the Daleks’ systemic exploitation of human agency and emotion.
