To

S3E11 · Day of Armageddon

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor’s gamble on infiltrating the Dalek city (Ep 11) echoes his earlier certainty in the jungle that the Daleks are 'doing something drastic' (Ep 10), showing his persistent drive to act despite opposition."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Ep 10, the Doctor insists on investigating Dalek activities despite Steven’s warnings. In Ep 11, he disguises himself as Zephon to infiltrate the city, doubling down on his risk-taking approach to countering the Daleks. His dialogue ('we have to stop the Daleks') directly references this continuity.
