Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Dalek presence is introduced as a distant threat in Episode 4 but escalates into an urgent and existential crisis in Episode 5, where direct defiance and attack planning occur. Tyler’s early reports of the Daleks' arrival and their threat level form the basis for this escalation.
