Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chen's presentation of the taranium core to the Daleks (cand_evt_scene_320f1a291dff5874_02) exposes its vulnerability, enabling Zephon's accusations of Chen's negligence in the next episode (cand_evt_scene_f66ea466cdce4be6_01)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Chen's act of giving the taranium core to the Daleks creates the very asset they need to complete their Time Destructor, which fails due to the theft. This failure fuels Zephon's exposure of Chen's errors in judgment.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
