Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The chain of causality begins with the Doctor’s recognition of a compromised facility in Part 5, which escalates into the Brigadier’s proactive delivery of evidence in Part 6. This reflects the Doctor’s role as a catalyst who both exposes and responds to systemic threats.
