Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes feature the characters' relief being undercut by a new, external threat tied to time displacement. In Episode 26, relief at escape from one temporal trap (being exhibited in the museum) is undercut by the realization of their future entrapment in the museum. In Episode 32, relief at escaping the Aridians is undercut by the Daleks' relentless pursuit via a time machine."

The longer arc this connection carries
