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.
