Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's threat to exterminate the Doctor's crew and 'destroy pursuit ship' culminates in the Daleks' aggressive pursuit of the TARDIS in Episode 15, where they open fire and force Steven into a dangerous escape."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The escalation of the Daleks' threats from a verbal ultimatum to a physical attack on the TARDIS underscores the intensifying conflict. This mirrors the broader escalation of the Dalek-Solar System conflict, where words are no longer enough to contain the Doctor's resistance.
