Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 11, the Doctor gambles by revealing the TARDIS's existence, inadvertently planting the idea of time travel in the Daleks' minds. By Episode 30, the Daleks have operationalized their own time machine, dispatching an assassination squad—a direct escalation born from the Doctor's earlier revelation.
