How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Latep and Jo volunteering to act as bait for the Daleks (beat_4e283e87a7681046) leads directly to the Doctor instructing them to scatter and draw the Daleks away as tension builds at the city entrance (beat_1376154697ebb646), executing the strategic distraction."
