Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Dalek’s resilience against Gilmore’s assault in Episode 1 (Event 6bcd2e313fcf7b27_2) sets up its relentless nature, which continues in Episode 2 where it blasts its way out of the cellar (Event 572245ec7f073527_03). This escalates the physical stakes of the conflict.
