Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' confirmation that the Doctor is dying and others are ill (Episode 6) calls back to Alydon's revelation that the Thals' mutations are due to Dalek war radiation (Episode 7), reinforcing the Daleks' role as the source of suffering."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events highlight the Daleks' legacy of destruction, tying their present actions to their past genocide. The prisoners' sickness in Episode 6 is explicitly linked to Dalek radiation, mirroring the Thals' mutations described in Episode 7.
