Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events explore the theme of perceived vs. actual threats. Bennett accuses others (Duggan, Jamie, Corwyn) of paranoia while exhibiting it himself (Silver Carrier menace, Cybermen plot). This creates a thematic loop about leadership and trust.
