Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' 'unholy bargain' in Episode 12 (offering technology for aid) manifests in Episode 13 as their calculated coercion of human and Exxilon laborers to breach the city. Their willingness to negotiate with 'inferior creatures' in Episode 12 enables their blatant enslavement tactics in Episode 13."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The thematic and practical progression of the Daleks' alliances and coercion tactics is directly traceable from the cage negotiation in Episode 12 to the forced labor deployment in Episode 13.
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.
