Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chen's defiance of Dalek authority in Episode 19 (hitting the Dalek eyepiece) foreshadows his deluded belief in Episode 21 that he is allied with the Daleks rather than their pawn. Both scenes show Chen overestimating his control over the Daleks."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Chen's false confidence in his negotiation power with the Daleks ('If you insist on this approach, I fail to see how I can be made to answer for the consequences.') directly contrasts with his later capture in Episode 21 where he is treated as just another prisoner. This continuity illustrates Chen's tragic arc of overreach.
