Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Brigade Leader Stewart's order for the Doctor's execution in Episode 21 sets the tone for the intensified interrogation tactics seen in Episode 22, where Shaw and Stewart continue to view the Doctor as a threat needing coercive measures."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Stewart's declaration of the Doctor's impending execution (without trial) reflects the authoritarian regime's escalating brutality. This leads Shaw to employ manipulative interrogation tactics in Episode 22, reinforcing the regime's distrust of outsiders.
