Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Chen's character trajectory from a position of arrogant authority (Episode 15) to desperate betrayal (Episode 17) as a direct response to Dalek pressure. The Daleks' ruthless dismissal of failure creates a continuous arc for Chen's motivations.
