Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' deception in Episode 7 sets up their treacherous scheme in Episode 8, intensifying the moral and physical stakes. The Doctor’s observation that they are 'walking into an ambush' directly ties back to the Daleks' deceptive manipulation in the previous episode.
