Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s deduction that an external energy drain caused the TARDIS failure (Episode 11) parallels the Daleks’ loss of power due to the same planetary energy blackout (Episode 12), both representing a momentary inversion of power structures in the narrative."

The longer arc this connection carries
