Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's dismissal of Benton in Episode 6 (due to the Keller machine's effects) directly leads to Yates' increased authority and harsh treatment of Benton in Episode 7."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier publicly humiliates Benton in Episode 6 by implying he is 'too delicate for intelligence work,' which emboldens Yates to treat Benton with disdain and push him harder in Episode 7. This shows how the Keller machine's indirect effects escalate Benton's internal UNIT conflict.
