Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's ultimatum in Episode 13 to Mavic Chen to eliminate the Doctor's crew directly leads to the Daleks being explicitly ordered to pursue and exterminate the Doctor in Episode 21."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' conditional threat in Episode 13 ('recapture the taranium and eliminate the Doctor’s crew—or face consequences') sets the stage for their direct and unconditional extermination order in Episode 21. The earlier event causes the later event by intensifying the Daleks' determination to destroy the Doctor and his companions.
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.
