Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"LeMaitre's imprisonment of the Doctor in the prison corridor in Episode 40 (cand_evt_scene_eb82fd00c8747893_01) sets up LeMaitre's continued defiance of Robespierre in Episode 41 (cand_evt_scene_37e7db24138132da_01), where he prioritizes his vendetta over Robespierre's orders."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
LeMaitre's defiance in Episode 41 (ignoring Robespierre's urgent summons) is directly enabled by his actions in Episode 40, where he asserts his authority over the Doctor and Susan, demonstrating his loyalty to the Revolutionary project over Robespierre's immediate orders.
