Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Commandant's decoding of the Doctor's bluff about 'originals' (Episode 36) leads directly to Kennedy and Waterfield's awareness of the Doctor's pursuit (Episode 37), escalating the Daleks' countermeasures."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Chameleons' attempt to verify the Doctor's bluff (via Gatwick Control) creates a temporary alliance or awareness that Waterfield and Kennedy anticipate the Doctor's actions in Episode 37. This shows the adversaries' continuity in monitoring and reacting to the Doctor's strategies.
