Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's presence in both episodes forms a bridge between them. In Episode 12, he questions the fate of the astronauts; in Episode 21, his parallel-world counterpart orders the Doctor's execution, showing how authority figures are corrupted by authoritarian power."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier's shift from a questioning overseer (Episode 12) to a hardened enforcer (Episode 21) underscores the series' conflict arc: the erosion of trust in institutions and the cost of unchecked authority.
