Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's order to pursue the Doctor's ship in Episode 12 escalates in Episode 13 to an outright threat to destroy pursuit ships for failure and a demand that Chen recapture the taranium or face consequences. This shows the Daleks' increased desperation and harshness."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' pursuit in Episode 12 was strategic and restrained, but the failure to secure the taranium leads to a direct and brutal ultimatum in Episode 13. This escalation underscores the Daleks' intolerance for failure and Mavic Chen's precarious position.
