Why These Connect
The narrative assertion

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Dalek’s survival against human weaponry is a critical emotional beat that resonates into Episode 2. The Doctor’s despair ('I’ve made a grave error of judgment') is a direct consequence of the audience’s memory of the Dalek’s resilience in Episode 1.
