Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara’s realization that they are not in their own time (Susan and Barbara confront temporal displacement) in Episode 4 parallels Susan’s later prompting David to recount the Daleks’ systematic conquest (David reveals Dalek conquest tactics) in Episode 5, both reinforcing the theme of fractured time and history."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes explore the theme of human helplessness in the face of vast, incomprehensible forces, one through temporal displacement and the other through conquest. Susan and Barbara experience time differently, mirroring the resistance’s struggle against Dalek history-rewriting.
