Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dortmun’s defiance in E5 ('Obey motorised dustbins? We’ll see') parallels his insistence in E6 that Barbara ‘find your friend the Doctor, and give him my notes’—both scenes emphasize his belief in science and leadership as a means to defeat the Daleks despite physical limitations."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The theme of intellectual resistance from a position of physical constraint (wheelchair) unites Dortmun’s actions across episodes, reinforcing his character trajectory as the moral and strategic core of the resistance.
