Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 5, David demonstrates his ability to scout and execute tactical plans (e.g., signaling the bomb attack). In Episode 6, this skill translates into a direct action-oriented leadership approach, as he insists on pursuing Tyler despite overwhelming Dalek opposition. The earlier infiltration experience informs his confidence in navigating dangerous situations, even as the stakes escalate.
