How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Mercer’s coercion of Turlough into hunting Davros in Episode 13 escalates into Turlough’s complicity in the Doctor’s morally ambiguous plan to kill Davros—including deception about the TARDIS’s course—in Episode 14."

The longer arc this connection carries
