Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zephon's public betrayal of the Doctor in Episode 11 leads to the Doctor being identified as a fugitive. This status directly causes the Daleks' use of the Neutronic Randomiser to divert the Spar ship to Desperus in Episode 12."
