Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek uses parallel, absolute language to discard its human associates. To Chen it declares, 'Our alliance has ended. ... Take him away and exterminate him.' To Maxtible it declares, 'You have disobeyed a Dalek command. ... Exterminate. Destroy.' Both decrees strip the human of any perceived standing or partnership."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The linguistic callback reinforces the Black Dalek's immutable, static worldview. It does not form genuine alliances, it issues temporary, revocable commands to tools. The echo of this language across episodes highlights the character's unchanging ruthlessness.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
