Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Davros's cold destruction of Kara for her betrayal in Episode 13 demonstrates his willingness to eliminate allies he deems disloyal. This ruthless pragmatism directly enables his downfall in Episode 4, as his distrust of others means he has no loyal allies left to warn him of the Doctor's trap, leading him to unwittingly destroy Skaro."
