Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Davros's near-execution by the Doctor in Episode 14 directly informs his strategy in Episode 12 when he encounters the Doctor again. Having seen the Doctor's willingness to kill him, Davros refuses to have the Daleks detain the Doctor immediately, instead savoring the chance to trap him through curiosity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The traumatic confrontation in Episode 14, where the Doctor aimed a gun at Davros's head, has fundamentally altered Davros's approach. He no longer treats the Doctor as a mere nuisance but as a genuine existential threat, and he takes sadistic pleasure in outmaneuvering him personally rather than delegating to Daleks.
