Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Federation delegates' refusal to intervene in Peladon's internal affairs (the execution plot) escalates to active Federation violence against miners in Episode 15, where Eckersley and Alpha Centauri defend mining policies and dismiss grievances."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The conflict arc shows Federation complicity intensifying: in Episode 7, delegates stand by as Hepesh frames the Doctor; by Episode 15, Federation officials are directly involved in suppressing rebellion, with Eckersley prioritizing trisilicate quotas over miner safety.
