Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Galloway’s act of betrayal (arming a bomb against the Daleks) in Episode 14 mirrors Ettis’ orchestration of a rebellion (arming miners against Federation oppression) in Episode 15, both representing oppressed groups taking direct, violent action against their enemies."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both characters (Galloway and Ettis) represent subordinate figures who choose violent sabotage to resist authority. Their actions trigger immediate consequences: Galloway’s bomb foils Dalek plans, while Ettis’ rebellion triggers the Federation crackdown. This causal parallel emphasizes the theme of justified rebellion across episodes, despite different moral frameworks.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
