Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Eelek’s threat to Beta — 'You will no longer obey Selris. You will obey me.' — foreshadows his later betrayal of the Doctor and Zoe, whom he sees as tools for his own ends rather than people to protect."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Eelek’s pattern of replacing legitimate authority with his own command (first Selris, then the Doctor) signals his trajectory toward instrumentalizing allies. His willingness to 'surrender' the Doctor to the Krotons is an extreme form of this utilitarian mindset.
