Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Black Dalek's ultimatum sets a high-stakes demand that drives the Dalek's relentless pursuit of the taranium, which is a central conflict in Episode 15. The Daleks' aggressive behavior in Episode 15 is a direct consequence of the earlier ultimatum.
