Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polly's defiance against Dalek control (Episode 13) directly informs her urgency to reunite with Ben and the Doctor (Episode 14), where her warnings about Valmar's betrayal and the Dalek threat mirror her earlier confrontations."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Polly's sustained defiance and vocal opposition to the Daleks in Episode 13 (e.g., refusing to assist, exposing the Doctor's true identity) establish her as the primary voice of resistance. Her emotional continuity carries into Episode 14, where she immediately warns the Doctor and Ben about Valmar's betrayal—demonstrating her evolving role from defiant prisoner to active ally in resistance. This thread unifies Polly's arc across episodes.
