Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s immediate concern about Dalek pursuit after the events of Episode 16 (cand_evt_scene_688ee520f0004f7c_01) is directly escalated in Episode 17, where Sara frames the Daleks as an immediate, existential threat requiring aggressive action."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the narrative thread of the Daleks’ relentless pursuit, which began as a looming threat in Episode 16 and becomes the core conflict in Episode 17. The Doctor’s plan to destroy the taranium (Episode 16) directly enables Sara’s demand to return to Kembel to destroy the Dalek fleet (Episode 17), illustrating the escalation of the Dalek conflict across episodes.
