Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's intervention against Dalek objectives (Episode 2) raises the Daleks' scrutiny and forces the Doctor into more desperate measures (Episode 3). This escalation reflects Tyssan's growing resolve: the Doctor's actions validate and amplify Tyssan's nascent rebellion.
