Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The High Council’s condemnation of the Doctor based on fear and expediency in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_cd8025ad05f9f845_3) mirrors the Castellan’s later use of forensic manipulation to prove the Doctor’s guilt in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_e67c4286da8d551b_2). Both episodes illustrate institutional betrayal of justice in service of stability.
