Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Barbara's revelation of the Dalek apocalypse plan (a bomb at Earth's core) in Episode 9 is echoed in Episode 29, where she is now part of a group (with Ian and Vicki) that liberates a planet (Xeros). Her growth from a captive to a liberator mirrors the Doctor's growth in resistance to the Daleks."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
