Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows Chen's evolution into a more proactive manipulator of events. His opportunism in Episode 11 becomes overt action in Episode 12 as he volunteers to return to Earth, positioning himself as the solution to the Daleks' problems while actually serving his own agenda.
