Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discovery of the artificial corridor of lights in Episode 34 (Mechanus) directly enables the Daleks to detect the Doctor's group's escape route in Episode 35 (Planet of Decision), as they follow the light source to the cave entrance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The artificial corridor in Episode 34 (cand_evt_scene_36fec341d8ecb229_02) leads the group to safety in the cave, but also leaves a detectable light signature. In Episode 35, the Daleks use a seismic detector to confirm the group's escape, tying back to the corridor's artificial light source as a causal factor in their detection. This escalates the threat and forces the group into a new, more dangerous environment (the Mechanoid city).

B raises the stakes established in A. The conflict intensifies, the pressure increases, the consequences grow more severe. The ratchet tightens.
