Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' declaration in Episode 11 that Chen will be eliminated once his usefulness expires is directly echoed in Episode 12 by Chen's opportunistic behavior in the Dalek Control Room, where he volunteers to return to Earth to deal with the intruders. This reveals Chen's awareness of his tenuous position and his attempt to secure his future by preemptively addressing the threat."
