Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's command to Mavic Chen to eliminate the fugitives (Doctor's crew) escalates into Mavic Chen's humiliating confrontation with the Black Dalek in Episode 15, where the Daleks are forced to acknowledge operational failure and escalate their own tactics."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Black Dalek's initial demand (Episode 13) is met with failure, but rather than backing down, the Daleks escalate their pursuit through technological and tactical means (magnetized beam, pursuit ships, and humiliation of Chen). This shows the Daleks' soldier/operative trajectory shifting from direct threats to increasingly desperate and technologically advanced pursuit.
About Escalation Connections
B raises the stakes established in A. The conflict intensifies, the pressure increases, the consequences grow more severe. The ratchet tightens.
