Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Bret's instinctive reaction to fear in Episode 10 ('No!') evolves into his premeditated execution of Daxtar in Episode 13, reflecting his corruption by paranoia and his inability to distinguish allies from enemies."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The tension between urgency and trust escalates across episodes. Bret's initial fear of the Dalek drives him to distrust the Doctor's calm; by Episode 13, this distrust becomes indiscriminate violence, destroying his ability to cooperate with allies.
