Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zephon's betrayal and exposure of the Doctor's disguise in Episode 11 directly motivates the Black Dalek's strategic shift to live capture in Episode 12, as the Daleks now prioritize recovery of the taranium core over immediate extermination."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zephon's actions in Episode 11 disrupt the Doctor's infiltration, leading to the theft of the taranium core. This forces the Daleks to abandon their default extermination protocol in favor of a more complex strategy (remote hijacking), demonstrating the consequences of Zephon's intervention.
