Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' successful time lag calculation and pursuit lock in Episode 32 enable their confirmation of the TARDIS's trajectory toward Mechanus in Episode 33."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dalek 5's stammering confirmation of 'one five earth minutes, reducing' in Episode 32 directly supports Dalek 3's later report that 'We are locked in pursuit course' as the TARDIS approaches Mechanus in Episode 33.
