Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' assertion of absolute dominance over Earth (Episode 5) directly sets up the escalation of violence in the resistance ambush (Episode 6), where the Daleks' ruthless control forces the resistance into increasingly desperate and deadly measures."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' initial demonstration of totalitarian control in Episode 5 creates the oppressive environment that drives the resistance to attempt daring and high-stakes operations in Episode 6. This mirrors the escalation of conflict from mere occupation to outright resistance warfare.
