Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' enforcement of Maxtible's protected status—threatening extermination for harming him—serves as a specific example of Dalek oppression that the Doctor later invokes when accusing the Time Lords of ignoring such evil."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's trial speech explicitly references the Daleks as the 'worst of all' evils he fought, and the events of Episode 43—including the Daleks' ruthless protection of their pawns—are part of that lived experience. This callback ties the micro-level conflict of Maxtible's betrayal to the macro-level indictment of Time Lord non-interference, showing how a single encounter with Dalek tyranny informs the Doctor's broader philosophy.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
