Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Davros's declaration of total war on the Dalek project in Episode 14, framing it as the singular path to survival and dominance, directly leads to his intensified interrogation of the Doctor in Episode 15 to extract intelligence that will ensure Dalek invincibility."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection anchors Davros's escalating ruthlessness and determination to weaponize science against all opposition. His post-massacre declaration of total war (cb79fb67fcf0787f_1) is immediately followed by his orchestration of the Doctor's brutal torture to forge an unassailable Dalek army (9e5aa83f1e8a36b1_01). This establishes Davros's unbroken trajectory of escalation across episodes.
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.
