Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's manipulation of Mavic Chen in Episode 20 sets up his sudden betrayal and extermination order in Episode 21. The Dalek's cold, calculated authority over Chen in Episode 20 is the same authority used to abruptly end their alliance in Episode 21."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Black Dalek's role in exerting control over Chen in Episode 20 (e.g., interrupting the Council and directing Chen's actions) directly leads to its decisive rejection of Chen's claims in Episode 21. The Dalek's shift from feigning alliance to outright extermination reflects its consistent but escalating manipulation of Chen.
