Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's interference in Episode 11 forces the Daleks to reconsider their priorities, shifting focus from extermination to strategic manipulation (Davros's research). This evolution reflects the Daleks' adaptive but still subordinate obedience to Lytton's tactical moves.
