Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Davros's confrontation with Lytton about the Daleks' defeat in the Movellan War (Episode 12) directly motivates his vengeful declaration, which in turn leads Lytton to intervene on the Doctor's behalf to gain leverage (Episode 13). This creates a causal chain where Davros's need for control and revenge shapes Lytton's actions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Davros's escalating rage and desire for vengeance in Episode 12 set the stage for Lytton's intervention in Episode 13, where Lytton attempts to manipulate events to his advantage by protecting the Doctor (who Davros has vowed to destroy). This highlights Davros's growing influence over human collaborators and his relentless pursuit of control over the Daleks.

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.
