Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's relay of the 'feedback phasing' technical crisis from Episode 24 to the Doctor (via Benton) directly escalates the urgency in Episode 25 where he imposes a five-minute deadline on Osgood to fix the exchanger."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The technical failure ('feedback phasing') reported in Episode 24 lingers as a critical unresolved issue that the Brigadier carries into Episode 25, where it becomes the immediate catalyst for his impatient and authoritarian approach toward Osgood. This creates a causal chain where the earlier failure drives the later crisis.
