Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Striker's assertion of command over Marriner in E18 ('Now'/'Aye, aye, sir') directly continues in E19 where Marriner executes orders with mechanical precision, rallying the Doctor and Tegan during the attack on Wrack's ship."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The disciplined obedience Marriner displays in E18 under Striker's command is functionally identical to his role in E19, where he serves as Striker's conduit for action during violence, proving the perpetuation of authoritarian hierarchy across episodes.
