Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The resistance's bomb attack in Episode 5 (signaled by David) directly leads to the Daleks' retaliatory lockdown and the escalation of hostilities in Episode 6, where resistance fighters ambush a Roboman aboard the saucer."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failed bomb attack in Episode 5 (alluded to by the explosion and David's signal) triggers the Daleks' intensified security measures, which then force the resistance into a more desperate, direct assault in Episode 6. This is a causal chain where one action directly enables the next.
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.
