Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's urgent warning about the Daleks' arrival in Episode 18 sets up the Doctor's eventual direct engagement with the Daleks in Episode 19. This escalation from passive observation to active confrontation demonstrates the Daleks' growing dominance and the Doctor's reactive role.
