Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Dalek Supreme's orders in Episode 8 ('Arm the device') are a direct response to the rebels' breach reported by Dalek 2 in Episode 7. The rebels' actions force the Daleks to accelerate their plan, showing a causal chain across episodes.
