Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lytton's challenge to abandon the space station over Davros' loyalty (Ep13) escalates to his direct execution order against Davros himself (Ep14). Both moments show Lytton prioritizing survival/pragmatism over Dalek obedience, but the later act becomes a direct act of defiance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation highlights Lytton's pragmatic transformation from arguing for tactical retreat to committing outright regicide (of a Dalek faction leader). His earlier defiance of Dalek protocols (Ep13) sets the stage for his violent assertion of control in Ep14, revealing his rejection of Dalek authority as untenable for his survival.
