Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Barbara’s intervention in E5—suggesting the bomb could enable the resistance to 'get right into the middle of the Daleks'—mirrors her moral dilemma in E6, where she prioritizes Barbara’s mission over personal loyalty to Susan. Both scenes show Barbara’s pragmatic shift toward Dortmun’s vision."
