Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chen’s execution of Giron in E20 establishes a pattern of ruthless violence and authoritarian dominance that directly informs his paranoia and delusional behavior in E21, where he refuses to heed Steven’s warnings about Dalek treachery."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection illustrates Chen’s moral decay across episodes. His willingness to murder in E20 to assert control sets the stage for his total inability to recognize danger in E21, even when it is right before him. It also explains why the Daleks ultimately see him as expendable.
