Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' lockdown tactics in Episode 5 make it impossible for resistance members to operate openly, forcing them into hiding and desperate measures. This directly leads to the grim circumstances Susan and David face in Episode 6, including execution squads and moral erosion.
