Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hardin’s granting of limited access to the Generator (Episode 3) reflects his evolving role as a reluctant ally to the Doctor and Romana, which continues in Episode 4 where he acts without their input to save Mena."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hardin’s initial defiance in Episode 3 (helping the Doctor despite professional risks) evolves into his desperate, independent actions in Episode 4 (carrying Mena to the Generator and seizing control of the crisis). This shows his pragmatic shift under duress.
