Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Dalek Command Unit's vow of eternal pursuit in Episode 29 directly causes Barbara's interception of their transmission in Episode 30, as their pursuit drives the Daleks to adapt and refine their methods (time machine) to hunt the Doctor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' declaration in Episode 29 of pursuing the Doctor 'through all eternity' sets up their technological advancement (time machine) and their relentless pursuit strategy, which Barbara intercepts in Episode 30. This creates a direct causal chain where the Daleks' earlier declaration manifests in their later actions.
