Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lesterson's suppression of political dissent in the lab (Episode 10) mirrors his dismissal of the Doctor's warnings in the Governor's office (Episode 11), enabling his unilateral authority over the Daleks after Hensell grants it."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Lesterson's authoritarian control in Episode 10 (shutting down Resno and Janley) directly enables his defiance of the Doctor and Bet in Episode 11, where he dismisses their pleas and secures absolute power over the Daleks.
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.
