Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The irony of Chen's belief that his alliance with the Daleks grants him authority over them in Episode 20 is sharply undercut by their betrayal in Episode 21. This callback emphasizes Chen's fatal flaw: his inability to perceive the Daleks' true motives.
