Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Chen's use of Steven and Sara as hostages in Episode 19 demonstrates his ruthless pragmatism. His subsequent capture in Episode 21, alongside the Doctor, shows the consequences of his misplaced trust in the Daleks, as his earlier actions (hostage-taking) lead to his downfall.
