Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Castellan's forensic accusations against the Doctor and President in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_80c555f7f8c2586c_01) parallels Zorac's skepticism about the Doctor's ability to stop Omega in Episode 4 (cand_evt_scene_b651e23f7397cd7b_1), both questioning the Doctor's trustworthiness."

The longer arc this connection carries

The Castellan's institutional distrust (forged evidence, conspiracy theories) echoes Zorac's individual skepticism in Episode 4. Both events reflect the Time Lords' broader erosion of faith in the Doctor and each other, highlighting the theme of institutional paranoia.
