Tasambeker's extermination by Daleks

Haunted by her murder of Jobel under Davros’ coercion, Tasambeker lingers in the catacombs, her guilt palpable. The Daleks appear without warning and execute their decree without hesitation. Her death serves as a brutal reminder of the Daleks’ absolute dominion over even their own agents, reinforcing the futility of allegiance to Davros’ regime. This moment escalates the peril for all who have sided with the Great Healer and foreshadows the coming reckoning for Davros’ miscalculations.
