Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connects Dalek 3's tactical role in establishing the TARDIS's location (Journey into Terror) to the immediate escalation of hostilities in the next episode, where Dalek 2 issues an extermination order. Dalek 3's earlier confirmation of tracking is the operational foundation for the Daleks' relentless pursuit.
