Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dalek 1's order in Episode 6 to track Susan's movements (and their belief she may lead them to the Thals) directly causes the Daleks' exploitation of Thal desperation in Episode 7, where they strategize to manipulate the Thals into re-cultivating the land."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' surveillance of Susan in Episode 6 sets up their manipulative plan in Episode 7, where they use her contact with the Thals (via the food request) as bait to lure the Thals into a false treaty.
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.
