Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s abrupt departure from the warehouse to pursue Turlough (Ep 12) leaves Calder as the primary military authority in the facility, directly causing Calder’s involvement in the subsequent crisis around the missing duplicate cylinder (Ep 13)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Calder's procedural adherence and military instincts are crystallized in Ep 12 when ordered to wait for Archer; his inability to prevent Archer’s betrayal in Ep 13 stems from that same rigid trust in protocol, showing Calder’s continuity as a disciplined soldier whose trust in command blinds him to internal treachery.
