Worldbuilding[]
- Yaz knows that the Doctor has faced the Daleks before. The encounter with the Reconnaissance Dalek was the first for Yaz and her fellow companions. She hopes it is the last.
- Yaz speculates that the Dalek is the first to have ever came to Earth.
- The reconnaissance scout landed on Earth in the 9th century.
- The Dalek was defeated after a long and deadly battle.
- With its casing destroyed, the Kaled mutant inside was cut into three pieces so it could never reform.
- Two pieces of the Dalek were successfully transported away and guarded by the Order of the Custodians.
- The other piece was left behind and remained in Sheffield where it was found twelve centuries later by Lin and Mitch, who accidentally awoke it with UV light.
- Team TARDIS spent New Year's Day 2019 tracking down the reassembled Dalek creature, which resembled a squid.
- This Dalek could use human bodies as a puppet, doing so to Lin.
- The Dalek built its own scrap metal casing using spare parts and bits of its original outer shell, including a gunstick.
- Referring to the destruction of the Dalek's new casing, Yaz says "can't stand the heat, keep out of the kitchen".
