Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' deployment of Robo-Doc and the extermination order in The Death of Doctor Who directly sets up their tactical response when they detect the TARDIS crew's escape in The Planet of Decision."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dalek 2's orders in Ep 34 ('Infiltrate, separate and kill') and the Daleks' presence on Mechanus create the ongoing threat that leads to their detection of the crew's escape and subsequent pursuit in Ep 35. This ties Dalek 2's role as a tactical commander across episodes.
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.
