Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Davros's boast in the bunker (E3) about his Daleks' technological superiority and his own immortality directly leads to his paranoid order in E4 to destroy the Movellan ship upon detecting the Doctor aboard. The transformation from confidence to fear demonstrates Davros's character arc from arrogance to desperation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The standoff in E3 plants the seeds for Davros's later actions. His earlier dismissal of mortality becomes a vulnerability that the Doctor exploits, and his fear of the Doctor's interference drives the escalation to total destruction in E4.
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.
