Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lytton, having survived the Dalek purge mission on Earth by feigning death, now enters a new alliance with the Cybermen, betraying his Dalek past and offering his crew's conversion for survival. This shows his pragmatic shift from Dalek-collaborator to Cyberman-ally."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Lytton's trajectory from a Dalek commander ordered to destroy Davros to a mercenary bargaining with Cybermen demonstrates his core survivalist pragmatism. In Episode 14, he is a disposable asset; in Episode 1, he becomes a willing collaborator, actively proposing an exchange of human lives for Cyber favor. This continuity tracks his development from coerced participant to self-serving initiator.
