Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' activation of the magnetized beam in Episode 15 directly causes the Time Destructor's activation and subsequent pursuit in Episode 17, as the beam pulls the stolen ship to Kembel, where the Daleks prepare their time weapon."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link ties the Daleks' technological escalation (magnetized beam) to their strategic preparation (Time Destructor activation), forming a continuous arc of pursuit and retaliation across episodes.
