Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' failed search for the Doctor and his companions after the Visian attack (Episode 15) escalates into a coordinated temporal assault using the Time Destructor and a time machine (Episode 17). The Daleks' inability to capture the Doctor leads to more drastic measures."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 15, the Daleks' priority shifts from capturing the Doctor to simply preventing his escape, as seen in their order to 'Search for the fugitives. They must not escape.' By Episode 17, this urgency escalates into a full-scale temporal pursuit, with the Daleks launching a time machine to hunt the Doctor in 1966 London. The failure to stop the Doctor in Episode 15 directly causes the Daleks' more aggressive and technologically advanced approach in Episode 17.
