The narrative assertion
"Scarman's compliance in having Sarah dropped immediately after Sutekh's command demonstrates Sutekh's absolute control over his human servants. This total control leads directly to Sarahan's subsequent ensnarement and the Doctor's immediate execution order upon arrival at the Pyramid, revealing the domino effect of psychological dominance."
