Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's deployment of a temporal strike force in Episode 17 ('Organise a task force for the pursuit of the time travellers') foreshadows its later use of Chen as a forced participant in the pursuit. The Dalek's order to Chen ('you will accompany the task force') in Episode 20 is a direct consequence of this earlier directive."
