Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hart's increasing skepticism in Episode 12 (stemming from the Doctor's evidence) leads to Walker's abrupt seizure of command in Episode 13, as the crisis has already eroded Hart's authority."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hart's initial resistance to the Doctor's warnings in Episode 12 sets up his weakened position in Episode 13, where Walker exploits the institutional void to seize control. Blythe's compliance in both scenes underscores Hart's diminishing influence.
