How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The IE Bikers' brutal execution of the fugitive scientist (Ep 11) is echoed by Vaughn's manipulation through threats of violence and actual captivity (e.g., Zoe and Isobel), reflecting a continuity in corporal punishment and psychological terror as tools of control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
