Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara’s reprogramming of the Robomen in Episode 9 (Flashpoint) enables the Doctor’s team to survive long enough to attempt escape, which leads to their landing on Dido in Episode 10 (The Powerful Enemy). The Dalek defeat indirectly sets up the new threat."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
While indirect, Barbara’s tactical victory over the Daleks in Episode 9 results in the Doctor’s group fleeing to Dido, establishing the new plot in Episode 10. The events are causally linked through the Doctor’s urgency to escape and regroup.
About Causal Connections
