Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lytton's survival through feigning death in the warehouse (Episode 14) enables him to later activate the Cyber conversion device in the junkyard (Episode 1). His escape from the Dalek massacre preserves his life for new schemes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The direct consequence of Lytton not being killed by the Daleks is his continued existence to pursue Cyberman alliances. This causal link shows how a single act of deception in one episode enables an entirely new plot arc in 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.
