Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Black Dalek's dismissive attitude toward Chen's negotiation in Episode 15 is consistent with the Black Dalek's later authoritarian control over the Dalek forces in Episode 17, particularly in deploying the time machine pursuit."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Black Dalek's rejection of Chen's plea for prudence ('The Daleks will deal with them, there is no need for the delay in their extermination') establishes its ruthless efficiency. This same decisiveness is evident in Episode 17, where the Black Dalek orchestrates the time machine deployment, showcasing its continuity as the unquestioned leader willing to take extreme measures.
