Narrative Connection

Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek’s command to remotely crash the Spar ship is a direct consequence of the taranium core’s theft, which the Doctor orchestrated (via Zephon disguise) in Episode 11."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The completion and presentation of the taranium core in Episode 11 set in motion the chain of events leading to its theft. This theft, in turn, forces the Black Dalek to deploy the Randomiser and remotely control the Spar’s descent, showing how the core’s importance drives the Dalek’s actions in Episode 12.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
