Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Archer's realization in Episode 12 that the cylinders are linked to the Daleks directly causes his exploitation of Tegan's disguise in Episode 13. His earlier confirmation of the cylinders' Dalek connection enables his ruthless enforcement of Dalek demands."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connects Archer's institutional compliance and tactical awareness from the first episode to his later willingness to enforce Dalek authority, showing how his initial recognition of the threat leads him to become a direct instrument of their will.
