Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's prior encounter with the Daleks forces him into a position of reluctant cooperation in Episode 39. His active resistance in Episode 14 (sabotage) contrasts with his passive compliance in Episode 39, highlighting his evolving relationship with the Daleks and his struggle to outmaneuver them.
