Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Daleks’ inability to eliminate the TARDIS or the Doctor’s companions on Aridius drives them to continue their hunt relentlessly. This causes the Daleks to use temporal tracking technology and land on the Mary Celeste, where they interrogate and terrorize the crew — behavior originating from their unresolved frustration in Episode 31.
