Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The pattern of authority figures dismissing valid warnings (Valmar/Kebble vs. Polly in Episode 13) escalates into full Dalek extermination authority in Episode 14, where Kebble is executed on sight."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 13 establishes the theme of dismissing warnings (Polly's pleas to Valmar) and being proven wrong (Daleks' inherent aggression). Episode 14 escalates this theme into lethality: Kebble's summary execution by the Daleks demonstrates how dismissal of intelligence leads to death—marking a shift from ideological conflict to literal survival.
