Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Maxtible's execution by the Daleks in Part 6 (for failing to deliver the Doctor) causes the Daleks to escalate their threats and coercion in Part 7, including the demand for the Doctor to develop the Dalek Factor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' need to replace Maxtible's failed partnership with direct coercion of the Doctor is a direct consequence of Maxtible's execution. This escalation forces the Doctor's defiance in Part 7.
About Causal Connections
