Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation illustrates the Daleks' inability to adapt, forcing them to double down on their survival strategies. Dalek 2's decisions in Episode 9 directly escalate the conflict in Episode 10, as their desperation makes them more reactive and violent.
