Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chen's acceleration to return to Kembel (Episode 14) is directly tied to Karlton's confirmation of the Daleks' arrival on Mira, a plot point enabled by Chen's earlier manipulation of loyalty and pursuit of power (Episode 13)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Chen's actions in Episode 13 (forming alliances, ordering killings, and accelerating his plans) lead directly to the events in Episode 14, where the Daleks' arrival on Mira forces Chen to enact his contingency plans. This causal chain solidifies Chen's role as the orchestrator of escalating conflict.
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.
