Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Arnold's skeptical, dismissive reaction to Chorley's panic in the tunnel—questioning his survival—parallels his institutional defensiveness when Sarah Jane stumbles on overlooked robotics work, both revealing his distrust of outsiders and preference for controlled narratives."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In both moments, Arnold resists information that challenges his authority or worldview. In the tunnel, he questions Chorley's credibility; in the Think Tank, he deflects responsibility for Kettlewell's work. This shows a consistent psychological defense mechanism.
