Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 4, Styles refuses to evacuate because he is devoted to the peace conference. In Episode 11, he disobeys a direct order to hold fire, instead opening fire on Daleks. This shows how his rebellious nature persists but is redirected from preserving diplomacy to engaging in warfare, a transformation driven by his traumatic encounter with the Daleks.
