Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Daleks' role evolves from tactical pursuit (Episode 32) to active, immediate violence (Episode 33), where they abandon triangulation for direct confrontation. This escalation in their behavior underscores the growing danger to the TARDIS crew and solidifies the Daleks as an inescapable threat.
