Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Trantis' initial skepticism of the Doctor (disguised as Zephon) and his distrust of Mavic Chen in Episode 11 directly leads to his confrontation with the Black Dalek in Episode 13, where he challenges Chen's reliability as an ally."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Trantis' role as a persistent critic of Chen's authority and the Daleks' trust in him spans both episodes. His questioning of Chen's motives in Episode 11 (as seen in the seating arrangement and dialogue) escalates into a full challenge in Episode 13, demonstrating a clear character trajectory from passive observer to defiant challenger.
