Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' acknowledgment that radiation is 'essential' and their subsequent stockpiling of nuclear materials set the stage for the genocide plan revealed in Episode 11. This establishes a causal link between the Daleks' existential need for radiation and their genocidal intentions.
