Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Bates physically confronts and intimidates Lytton and Griffiths to force their surrender, just as he later enters the Doctor's confrontation with Judson, asserting his authority over unauthorized visitors. In both cases, he uses his position and threat of force to dominate the situation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Bates's reliance on intimidation and hierarchical control is a constant across his experiences. Whether dealing with partial Cybermen or Time Lords, he immediately defaults to enforcing his authority, reflecting a deep-seated need to command respect and compliance.
