Causal strong strength S22E12 → S22E13

Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor and Peri's forced scaling of Necros' wall (Episode 12) leads directly to their exposure to Davros' surveillance and tracking, which culminates in their ambush and capture by Davros' forces in Episode 13. The sequence of events shows how their initial infiltration method (climbing) makes them targets."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's pragmatic but undignified decision in Episode 12 (climbing the wall) inadvertently signals their presence to Davros' forces, setting up their capture in Episode 13. This causal chain shows how the Doctor's tactical flexibility becomes a liability in Davros' surveillance-heavy stronghold.
