Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Daleks' presence in the jungle in Episode 34 (cand_evt_scene_423554b12c58f23e_01) establishes their ongoing threat, which culminates in Vicki spotting them in Episode 35 (cand_evt_scene_2d312e4175789ec5_01). This forces the group to abandon their cautious plans and pursue Steven's roof escape, escalating the stakes.
