Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chen's failed negotiation with the Black Dalek in Ep. 15, where Chen’s authority is stripped away, mirrors the later scene in Ep. 16 where Steven—in a police disguise—manipulates and outmaneuvers the police force, reversing the power dynamic and asserting control over authority figures."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes involve human (or human-like) agents being undermined by clever improvisation: Chen’s plan to save face crumbles against Dalek logic, while Steven’s crude disguise crumbles under the Doctor’s observational powers. This parallel in 'outsider challenges authority' thematically stitches the series together.
