Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In The Daemons, Yates frantically announces Jo's capture and Benton physically restrains him from rushing into danger, showing a protective, urgent dynamic. In Day of the Daleks, Jo and Benton share a lighthearted banter in the hallway, trading dry barbs about the Doctor's habits and Benton's snacking. The tone shifts from high-stakes tension to easy camaraderie."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Benton and Jo's relationship evolves from a formal, mission-driven interaction to a friendly, informal rapport. This reflects the growing trust and comfort between them after surviving past crises together, and it humanizes Benton beyond his strictly military role.
