Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Janley's calculated deception in Episode 11 ('He's waiting to get a message through from Earth. He's in the Communications room') sets up Polly's captivity in Episode 13, where Polly is forcibly brought to the Daleks to be silenced ('Get a couple of your men to keep her in a safe place').
