How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's strategic authority over Chen in Episode 20 (e.g., controlling the Council, directing his actions) mirrors its broader authority over Dalek operations in Episode 21 (e.g., deploying the Time Destructor, ordering prisoner transfers)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In both episodes, the Black Dalek exercises absolute command over proceedings, whether over alien delegates and Chen (Episode 20) or over Dalek subordinates and the Time Destructor (Episode 21). This consistent portrayal emphasizes its role as the supreme strategist and commander.
