Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The encounter with the dummy of himself in Episode 2 highlights Scobie's direct connections to the alien conspiracy. His defensive reaction to the Brigadier in Episode 3 reflects a character arc of denial and misdirection that stems from his earlier exposure to the Nestene plot.
