Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Jamie's initial capture and assessment by the Dominators (Ep 2) reinforces the Doctor's willingness to endure psychological torture by feigning stupidity, which directly informs Jamie's growing distrust of authorities (Dulcians) in Ep 3 as he questions their pacifist inaction."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's earlier strategy of deception under duress (faking stupidity to avoid being seen as a threat) sets up Jamie's frustration in Ep 3 with the Dulcians' bureaucratic, passive approach to the alien threat. Jamie's growing distrust mirrors the Doctor's earlier survival tactic — both involve measured defiance against incomprehensible power structures.
