S2E6 · Day of Reckoning

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Dortmun’s defiance in Episode 5 ('Obey motorised dustbins? We’ll see') echoes the resistance’s larger theme of defiance, which escalates into direct confrontation outside the Dalek saucer in Episode 6 where Susan silences Jenny to assert her own leadership."
