Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 15 features Chen publically challenging the Daleks’ competence after the ship theft, while the Black Dalek dismisses such concerns. In Episode 16, the Doctor references the Daleks’ capability for large-scale destruction (Time Destructor), implying this internal conversation about Dalek competence has resolved in their favor—heightening danger for the Doctor.
