Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Janley's order to Valmar to install new power cables for the Daleks (Episode 4, Part 13) directly leads to the achievement of static power autonomy by the Daleks (Episode 5, Part 5), as Valmar's work enables the Daleks' independence from the colony's power grid."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Janley's manipulation of Lesterson and Valmar in Episode 12 sets in motion a chain of events where Valmar's technical work culminates in the Daleks' static power breakthrough in Episode 13. This is a direct causal chain where human actions enable the Daleks' escalating power.
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.
