Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Steven’s discovery of the 'transmitter' capsule (with mice) in Episode 14 leads directly to Episode 15’s risky plan to steal a Dalek ship, as the transmitter’s signals inadvertently reveal their location to Daleks."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The transmitter’s signals act as a causative throughline: the experiment in Episode 14 creates the set piece where the Daleks track the group to Mira (Episode 14) and pursue them after the ship theft (Episode 15). The tension around the transmitter escalates from a plot device to a direct existential threat.
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.
