"Episode 11 ends with Zephon's betrayal, which directly escalates to Episode 12's political maneuvering by Chen, as both characters exploit the chaos to advance their own agendas (Zephon's alarm triggering vs. Chen's return to Earth)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zephon's betrayal disrupts the Dalek conference, and this chaos is mirrored by Chen's opportunistic departure in Episode 12. Both events escalate the conflict by introducing new layers of deception and political tension within the Dalek alliance.
