Why This Matters Across Episodes

David’s confrontation with the Daleks’ relentless execution of human life in Episode 6 (e.g., 'You killed my mother and my brothers') mirrors his emotionally wrought choice to abandon the Doctor in Episode 7. Both scenes force David to choose to harden himself to protect the mission, highlighting his tragic evolution as a leader.
