Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Glitz dashes between the Master and Valeyard in the courtyard, shifting alliances for survival; later, he outright abandons the Doctor in the ice tunnel, escalating from opportunism to direct betrayal."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Glitz's alliance-shifting in Episode 14 is chaotic but still reactive; by Episode 12, he actively seizes an escape route at the Doctor's expense. This escalation marks a growth in his selfishness—he moves from playing both sides to deliberately sacrificing a companion for personal gain, deepening his character arc as a rogue who becomes bolder in his treachery.
