Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven’s risky G-force activation of the taranium (Episode 15) not only succeeds but creates a working replica — which then enables the Daleks to track the taranium through space into Episode 16."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The successful energy transfer activates the fake taranium, which the Daleks' tracking devices respond to. This escalates the threat: in Episode 16, the Doctor explicitly warns that the Daleks can follow the taranium. Thus, Steven’s innovation directly increases the immediate danger the crew faces.
About Escalation Connections
