Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's designation of Trantis as the test subject for the Time Destructor in Episode 17 foreshadows the later use of Chen as a disposable tool in Episode 20. The Black Dalek's manipulation of Chen mirrors its earlier willingness to sacrifice Trantis, underscoring its manipulative nature."

This connection shows the Black Dalek's consistent tactic of using disposable human agents for its purposes. The use of Trantis as a test subject (Episode 17) foreshadows Chen's later role as a forced participant in the Time Destructor's deployment (Episode 20).
