Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian’s provocation of the Thals in Episode 9 escalates into the Daleks’ genocidal plan revealed in Episode 10. The Daleks’ decision to exterminate the Thals (and, by extension, the Doctor and Susan) is a direct consequence of the group’s anti-pacifist actions and the growing unity between the humans and Thals."
