Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The dissolution of the Galactic Council by the Daleks (Ep 20) escalates the conflict into a totalitarian gambit: without political opposition, the Daleks now operate with absolute authority, accelerating their military deployment of the Time Destructor (Ep 21)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This removal of the Council eliminates all remaining checks on Dalek power. The vacuum of authority allows them to proceed unimpeded with the time destructor’s deployment—a direct escalation from political maneuvering to planetary and interstellar conquest.
