Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s reference to 'Professor Stahlman' as 'an opinionated oaf' in Stewart’s office (E21) is echoed when he directly accuses the infected Stahlman of touching 'that green substance' in E22, tying the two moments as part of the same arc."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
While the dialogue differs, the thematic throughline of Stahlman being both an obstacle and a victim of his own hubris is reinforced. The earlier label foreshadows his eventual exposure as sick and reckless.
