Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Dalek's revelation in Episode 13 (Part 5) about siphoning electricity for static power directly motivates Bragen's purge plan in Episode 14. Bragen preemptively eliminates threats to his rule by targeting those who could expose the Daleks' power theft—the same power the Daleks are exploiting to grow independent."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Dalek's plan to convert colony electricity into its own power supply creates a shared threat (energy depletion + Dalek control) that Bragen misinterprets as a political threat from his former allies. This misunderstanding links the Daleks' technological subversion (Episode 13) with Bragen's political purges (Episode 14).

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.
