Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' discovery that the anti-radiation drug is lethal (Episode 9) directly causes their desperate abandonment of the neutron bomb plan (Episode 10) in favor of a faster genocidal plan."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dalek 1's earlier insistence on finding a solution to their radiation dependency (Episode 9) leads to the rejection of the neutron bomb due to its 23-day construction timeline (Episode 10). This shows an escalation in their ruthless tactics as their situation becomes more dire, driving their character trajectory toward increasingly extreme measures.
