Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lesterson's optimistic belief in the Daleks' potential (from Part 3) evolves into his belief that he can control them entirely, which Janley then exploits through blackmail in Part 4."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This thread carries Lesterson's character evolution from a scientist blinded by his own ambition to one who is emotionally and morally compromised. His need to justify his actions to Hensell and others in Part 3 leads directly to his vulnerability in Part 4 when Janley holds Resno's death over him.
