Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier and Draconian Aide both represent institutional authority using faceless enforcers (Gels) to herd prisoners/targets, reinforcing the theme of oppressive systems controlling individuals. The Gels' presence in both episodes serves as a visual and thematic callback to Omega's domain and the Draconian hierarchy.
