Daleks take Kara and kill Vogel

Kara’s casual dismissal of Orcini’s discovery of Davros’ lab collapses when Daleks storm her office to seize Vogel. Vogel’s abortive attempt to challenge their entry ends in his swift execution, a brutal display of Dalek authority meant to cow Kara. When the Daleks order her to accompany them, Kara’s brittle sarcasm about her staff fails to mask her sudden vulnerability. The event strips her of the arrogant control she once wielded and confirms the Daleks’ unchallenged dominion over the Necros stronghold.
