Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 13, Lytton and the Daleks attempt to control the Doctor via duplication, stripping him of agency. In Episode 23, Professor Sylvest similarly seeks to assert authority over his sons' dangerous abilities, embodying the same paternalistic control. Both scenes highlight manipulative power dynamics that undermine the autonomy of the powerful figures being targeted.
