Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and companions' realization in Episode 8 that the Thals are walking into a Dalek ambush escalates in Episode 9, where the Daleks deduce the Thal-Doctor alliance and begin monitoring their activities. This represents an escalation in the conflict's stakes and the Daleks' awareness of their opponents."
