Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries forward the immediate consequence of the Doctor's daring sabotage attempt, establishing the prolonged captivity and high-stakes interrogation that defines both episodes' central conflict. Susan's endurance under duress is tested here, as the Daleks double down on their fanaticism in direct response to the Doctor's interference.
