Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s realization that the Valeyard is trying to humiliate him drives Glitz’s attempted departure, but the Doctor counters by warning that the Valeyard will kill Glitz if he leaves. This leads directly to Glitz’s decision to stay and help, solidifying their alliance under duress."
