Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and companions' observation that the Daleks are powered by static electricity (Episode 7) directly enables their ability to disable a Dalek by disrupting its sensor mechanism in Episode 8."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian and Susan's quick thinking in Episode 8 to trap the Dalek stems from their newly acquired knowledge (gained in Episode 7) about the Daleks' power source. This causal chain transforms their understanding from abstract theory into practical asset.
