Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The successful theft and escape in the Dalek pursuit ship (Episode 15) directly leads to the Doctor's concern about Dalek tracking mechanisms (Episode 16), creating an immediate continuation of the chase."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the primary narrative conflict—the Dalek pursuit—from Episode 15 into Episode 16. The Doctor's line in Episode 16 about not forgetting the Daleks' ability to follow them confirms that the escape attempt has heightened the threat rather than relieved it.
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.
