Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zephon's initial suspicion of Chen's hidden loyalties in Episode 11 directly escalates into Zephon's public accusations of Chen's negligence in Episode 12. This forges a direct causal chain where Zephon's private doubts become a public confrontation, revealing Chen's precarious position in the Dalek alliance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection stitches the two episodes into a coherent arc for Zephon's character, whose trajectory moves from confronting Chen privately to accusing him publicly, culminating in his execution. It also intensifies the narrative conflict around Chen, whose duplicity is now exposed to at least some of the Daleks.
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.
