Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both events stem from Khrisong's core belief in perimeter security and his distrust of outsiders. His attempt to use the Doctor as bait (Ep 6) fails, leading him to double down on isolation in Ep 7, showing his increasing desperation and refusal to adapt his strategies despite clear indications of outside control of the Yeti.
