How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both episodes contrast human agency with Dalek agency. Episode 12 shows humans trying to dominate the Daleks (e.g., 'They're conspiring together! Oh, why didn't I realise?'), while Episode 13 inverts this dynamic, with humans like Quinn acting on the Daleks' behalf to suppress other humans. This thematic shift underscores the Dalek's ultimate power.
