Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 12 opens with the Black Dalek ordering pursuit ships and randomiser activation. Episode 13 opens with the same Dalek ordering the destruction of pursuit ships and direct extermination. The parallel underscores the Daleks’ rigid, impersonal chain of command and unfeeling response to failure.
