Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Bragen's initial power flexing (Episode 12) sets up his full authoritarian turn in Episode 13, where he dismisses legitimate authority (Hensell), uses Daleks to enforce control, and declares martial law. His trajectory from opportunistic consolidator to dictator is continuous.
