Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Smythe's sham court-martial (condemning escape attempts) logically leads to the escalation where prisoners are actually shot during escape attempts in Episode 2, showing the system's lethal violence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's team being condemned for attempting to escape in Episode 1 sets up the parallel where other prisoners are actually executed for similar attempts in Episode 2. The system's brutality escalates from theoretical to actual.
