Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's infiltration of the Dalek city in Episode 11 (disguised as Zephon) is the reason the Daleks mistakenly believe Zephon is still in the reception area and frantically search for him."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's actions in Episode 11 (taking Zephon's place) create a false assumption for the Daleks in their search for the missing delegate, showing how the Doctor's infiltration fuels the Daleks' miscalculations and subsequent actions.
