Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Takis' involvement in the embalming and gilding of the elite corpse in Episode 12 aligns with his role as an intermediary for Davros' forces in Episode 13. His position of ritualistic agency in the Chapel of Rest foreshadows his attempt to broker a deal with the grey Daleks, despite his eventual loss of control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The continuity of Takis' character from Episode 12 to 13 is driven by his strategic maneuvering within Necros' power structures. His initial role as subordinate to Jobel in embalming rituals transitions to a self-assumed intermediary role with the grey Daleks, but both instances expose his lack of true agency as he is ultimately betrayed or overpowered. This reflects Takis' arc of navigating shifting power structures under Davros’ manipulations.
