Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's sabotage of the Dalek in Episode 11 (Part 3) directly escalates the colony's peril, which Janley exploits in Episode 12 (Part 4) to blackmail Lesterson over Resno's death, deepening the Dalek's control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's actions in sabotaging the Dalek to expose its danger create the tension that Janley capitalizes on in the next episode. The Dalek's malfunction and the Doctor's urgency to stop them set the stage for Lesterson's moral collapse under Janley's blackmail, directly continuing the Doctor's mission to thwart 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.
