Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's dismissal of Mavic Chen in Episode 15 (cand_evt_scene_6a3fd2800a510221_01) directly results in the Daleks' immediate prioritization of their temporal weapon project, as seen in Episode 17 when Dalek 2 reports the Time Destructor's operational status. Chen's failure to secure leverage over the Daleks accelerates their autonomous actions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal connection underscores the Black Dalek's authority and the Daleks' rejection of external interference, driving their progression from negotiation to aggressive temporal warfare. It also establishes the continuity of the Daleks' focus on the taranium core as a catalyst for their escalating actions.
