Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Monk's forced alliance with the Daleks in Episode 18 (Golden Death) leads directly to his presence in Episode 19 (Escape Switch), where he manipulates Steven and Sara while disguised as a victim. This sets in motion the betrayal of Steven and Sara."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Monk's coercion by Mavic Chen (cand_evt_scene_8a6b4ebdf116b4ad_01) explains his survival and desperation in Episode 19, where he seeks to regain favor with the Daleks by betraying Steven and Sara (cand_evt_scene_fdb9b7b5087513f3_01). This causal chain highlights the Monk's opportunistic nature and the escalating danger to the companions.
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.
