Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chen's initial deceptive tactics in Episode 17 (providing counterfeit taranium) escalate to outright murder in Episode 20 (executing Giron). This escalation mirrors the Black Dalek's own escalation from testing the Time Destructor to asserting control over the Galactic Council."
