Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Black Dalek's cold declaration 'The taranium will be recovered' in Episode 15 foreshadows its later command to 'Organise a task force for the pursuit of the time travellers' in Episode 17, showing the Daleks' methodical escalation from localized to temporal pursuit.
