Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both events highlight the brutal consequences of arbitrary authority: the Graff slaughters Binro for a minor infraction, while earlier he violently asserts control over the Doctor, Romana, and Garron. This thematic parallel underscores the precariousness of their alliance—both Garron and the Doctor are eventually revealed to be vulnerable to the Graff's tyranny despite their differing methods.
