Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Supreme Dalek's accusation that Lytton's delay put the Dalek plan at risk (Ep13) directly causes the Supreme Dalek to demote Lytton to a purge mission on Earth (Ep14)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The narrative causality here is explicit: Lytton's earlier failures (downplaying setbacks despite casualties) trigger the Supreme Dalek's loss of confidence in him, forcing him onto a suicide mission to redeem himself. This fuels Lytton's later betrayal as he seeks to regain control.
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.
