Why These Connect
The narrative assertion

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 142, James Stirling masks his true identity as a British spy behind the guise of LeMaitre. In Episode 316, the Doctor is mistaken for Professor Webster. This parallel underscores a recurring narrative interest in how identities are performed, perceived, and misinterpreted—connecting the espionage drama of revolutionary Paris with the farcical confusion of 1920s Hollywood.
