Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a direct causal chain: the spilled bacteria in Episode 19 infects the Dalek forces, and in Episode 20 the Supreme faces total annihilation as liquid ice floods systems they once controlled. The Supreme's downfall is the physical and narrative consequence of Episode 19's sabotage.
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.
