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.
