Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mavic Chen's successful acquisition of the taranium core (Episode 20) directly enables the Daleks' deployment of the Time Destructor (Episode 21). The Black Dalek's oversight of the Time Destructor's installation in Episode 21 is a direct consequence of Chen's earlier actions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Chen's delivery of the taranium core is the critical enabling event for the Time Destructor's activation. The Black Dalek's order to place the Time Destructor in the lead ship in Episode 21 is a direct continuation of the plan set into motion when Chen delivered the core in Episode 20.
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.
