Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's forced revelation of Dalek vulnerabilities under pain-giver duress directly informs Davros's later attempt to ensure Dalek invincibility, escalating the conflict to Davros's purge of the Kaled Elite when his plans are thwarted."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pain-giver interrogation in Part 5 provides Davros with the knowledge he needs to harden the Daleks against future threats (as seen in Part 5's intra-connections). This directly leads to his purge of the Kaled Elite in Part 6 (as Davros identifies dissenters using this intelligence), where he sacrifices even his own allies to secure absolute control over the Dalek project. The Doctor's suffering becomes the seed of Davros's ruthless escalation.
