Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zephon's exposure of the Doctor's disguise in Episode 11 directly causes the Daleks to suspect Chen's involvement in the taranium theft, leading to Zephon's accusations and execution in Episode 12. This moment triggers a chain reaction where the Daleks' trust in Chen diminishes, setting the stage for Chen's desperate attempt to regain their favor."
