The narrative assertion

"Chen's calculated seating of the Doctor (disguised as Zephon) in Episode 11 reflects his cunning and use of others as pawns. In Episode 12, Chen's behavior in the Dalek Control Room—volunteering to return to Earth—demonstrates his continued use of manipulation and opportunism to secure his position amid growing suspicions."
