Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Chen's lethal pursuit of the fugitives in Episode 13 directly ties into the Daleks' growing urgency in Episode 14. The taranium's theft by the Doctor and his companions is the catalyst for the Daleks' demand for a status report, linking Chen's actions to the Daleks' campaign.
