Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This event sets the operational chain in motion, with the Doctor's subsequent theft of the Dalek ship being a direct response to Chen's aggressive manhunt, connecting the two episodes' plots.
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.
