Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara's question about whether Daleks are 'just machines' (Episode 6) is directly referenced by Susan's defense of the Thals' humanity and superiority to the Daleks (Episode 7)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection reinforces the theme of defining humanity against mechanized cruelty. Barbara's doubt in Episode 6 becomes Susan's mission in Episode 7: to prove the Daleks' subhumanity and the Thals' humanity through action and trust.
