Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Dalek Tactical Liaison Unit (Dalek 3) reports the discovery of the Thal plan and Marat’s death to the Supreme Dalek (Part 3), which directly triggers the escalated order in Part 4: 'Order all search units into that area.' This shows both how tactical intelligence flows up the chain and how resistance actions provoke genocidal retaliation.
