Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Black Dalek’s order for Chen to accompany the time machine pursuit (in Volcano) immediately leads to his Faustian bargain with the Daleks (in Golden Death) as he is coerced into service."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The temporal strike force deployment in Episode 17 establishes Chen’s subjugation to the Daleks, which directly manifests in his coerced actions in Episode 18. The narrative follows Chen’s coerced role from a forced conscription to an active participant in the Daleks’ mission.
