Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara being trapped under a door in Dalek corridors mirrors her later trapped position metaphorically in the TARDIS, where systems and trust lock down. Both scenes involve physical or psychological confinement and a fight to escape."
