Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Dalek-led massacre of Hyksos Guards and capture of Steven/Sara (Ep 18) escalates into the Monk’s orchestrated betrayal of these same hostages to the Daleks (Ep 19). Both events center on the exploitation of human life by temporal agents working with the Daleks."
