How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

"The Valeyard's accusation of genocide against the Doctor in Episode 12 parallels Glitz's testimony about Time Lord genocide (Earth/Ravalox) in Episode 13. Both expose institutional hypocrisy where the accusers are themselves guilty of greater atrocities."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

It forces her to confront the rot within Gallifreyan institutions.
