Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks’ weaponization of time (tracking the TARDIS) and space (time machine deployment) in Episode 17 is matched by their weaponization of political control in Episode 20 — turning the Council into a puppet regime. The Black Dalek’s strategy evolves from assassination to systemic domination.
