Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

From
Doctor’s Theft and Zephon’s Betrayal
S3E11 · Day of Armageddon
To
Black Dalek orders live capture of the Spar
S3E12 · Devil's Planet

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Zephon's betrayal and exposure of the Doctor's infiltration exposes his own subordination to the Dalek hierarchy, which the Black Dalek later references by continuing to deploy Zephon as a representative in claims against Chen (e.g., 'Representative Zephon accuses Mavic Chen')."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Zephon's role as a loyal (but expendable) representative is reaffirmed in Episode 12 by his continued presence in Dalek interrogations. The betrayal in Episode 11 creates a narrative thread where Zephon's utility is repeatedly tested, culminating in his role in implicating Chen.
