Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 22, Boss's orders are abstract and systemic ('restraint orders to reveal the operative’s purpose'). In Episode 23, the Boss's presence is more immediate and personal, with Boss directly rebuking Stevens after observing the Doctor. This escalation reflects Boss's growing paranoia and need for absolute control.
