Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lesterson's revelation in Episode 4 that 'the Examiner was right' about the Daleks' evil foreshadows Bragen's eventual murder by Valmar in Episode 6, as the colony's moral decay stems from the facilitators' misplaced trust in the Daleks."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Lesterson's recognition of the Examiner's warning as true (the Daleks are evil) directly ties to Bragen's downfall, which Quinn links to Bragen's 'murder' of the Examiner. This creates a causal chain where initial disbelief in the Examiner's warnings leads to later violence and regime collapse.
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.
