Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's evasive responses and growing awareness of Davros's experiments (Part 2) lead Davros to suspect outside interference (Part 3), catalyzing his genocidal intentions. This causes a direct escalation from military research to pathological vengeance, forming a causal chain across the episode boundary.
