Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's early exposure of Chen's role in supplying taranium to the Daleks for the Time Destructor creates the motivational force behind Chen's desperate gambit to secure power as the Daleks' second-in-command. This causal chain drives Chen's actions in Episode 13, where he openly admits his alliance and activates countermeasures against the Doctor's group.
