Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek’s failed attempt to use the Remote Randomiser in E12 to force a soft landing and regain the core feeds into its demand in E13 that Chen must succeed—where the technology failed."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Black Dalek’s reliance on technology (Remote Randomiser) to retrieve the taranium core fails in E12. This failure drives the Black Dalek in E13 to turn directly to Mavic Chen as the agent of retrieval, transferring failure risk onto Chen while retaining command authority.
