How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Maxtible's weaponization of Terrall's suffering (Part 5) and his subsequent betrayal of Victoria (Part 6) illustrate his evolving role as a ruthless opportunist in the Dalek conspiracy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Maxtible's actions in Part 5 (hypnotizing Mollie, exploiting Terrall) directly lead to his exposure in Part 6 when Waterfield confronts him about Victoria's disappearance and his deal with the Daleks.
