The narrative assertion
"Sutekh's orders for Scarman to destroy the Doctor, executed by a servitor mummy strangling him, lead to the Doctor's surprising revival via his respiratory bypass system. This survival frees the Doctor from Sutekh's direct mental control and activates his resistance arc, demonstrating how desperate violence can inadvertently empower the antagonist's prey."
