Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's witnessing of the Dalek massacre in Episode 14 directly leads to his conceptual understanding of the Daleks' power and blind obedience, which he later exploits in Episode 15 to trigger a command override in the Daleks' behavior."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's horror at the Daleks' mechanical extermination in Episode 14 fuels his retrospective understanding of their vulnerability to external commands (Episode 15). This moment shows his recognition of their lack of autonomous thought, which becomes actionable in Episode 15 when he prompts the override that weakens Davros' control.
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.
