How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows the Black Dalek's strategic planning and technological escalation. The same pursuit ship landing on Kembel in Ep 15 is the catalyst for the Black Dalek's temporal warfare in Ep 17, as it locks onto the TARDIS's 1966 coordinates.

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.
