Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' genocidal plan and Susan's physical restraint in the control room (Episode 11) seeds anxiety and captivity trauma that resurfaces in her paranoia and neck pain inside the TARDIS (Episode 12)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Susan's subjugation by the Daleks in a controlled environment establishes an undercurrent of vulnerability and lack of agency that finds expression when she is trapped again—this time inside the malfunctioning TARDIS. Her physical suffering in both contexts ('held captive' vs. 'sharp neck pain') creates an emotional echo.
