Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wester’s sacrifice releases the bacteria mist (cand_evt_scene_cdaf203a3c886be6_2), which forces the Daleks to seal off the laboratory (implied in cand_evt_scene_f248f6e97f9005e8_1). This containment directly causes the Daleks to pursue the escaping Doctor and his allies through the control room (cand_evt_scene_8eb5c43d9ad09edc_1) as they flee the chaos."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Wester’s act sets off a chain reaction: the Daleks’ containment efforts lead to the systematic pursuit of the Doctor’s group. This escalates the conflict from a sabotage operation to a life-or-death escape scenario, tying the sabotage in Part 5 to the pursuit in Part 6.
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.
