Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Monk's coercion by the Daleks forges a direct link to the Doctor's deception. The Doctor's outmaneuvering of Chen hinges on exploiting the Daleks' reliance on the Taranium Core, a theme introduced by the Monk's role in enabling the Dalek scheme.
