Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 13 establishes Mercer's observational intelligence as she deduces Davros's unseen control over the Daleks. In Episode 14, Mercer's silent complicity with the Doctor (arming him) reflects the continuity of his character's growing disillusionment with Dalek rule and alignment with the Doctor's mission.
