Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Dalek Supreme's imperviousness to the Doctor's explosives (Episode 1) highlights its advanced capabilities, setting up its aggressive pursuit of the Doctor and Ace. This resilience forces Ace to confront and defeat multiple Daleks directly in Episode 2.
