Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Daleks' unyielding adherence to their extermination orders in Episode 34 drives their decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Mechanus in Episode 35. The mission to destroy the humans and assert control over the Mechanoids stems directly from their earlier commands.
