Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes Lesterson's initial trust in the Daleks' docility and his scientific authority, which directly enables his later false assertion of control over them (shown in Part 4). The causal chain begins with Lesterson's advocacy in Part 3 and ends with his misguided attempt to dominate them in Part 4.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
