Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mace's unreserved but dismissive comment about theatrical trickery in Episode 13 ('I'm a man of the theatre. I'm not impressed by trickery, however clever it is.') is directly echoed when he calls the control bracelet demonstration a 'conjuring trick' in Episode 14."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback underscores Mace's consistent skepticism and attachment to theatrical metaphor, which blinds him to the true nature of alien technology. It also foreshadows his ultimate abandonment of the group when faced with undeniable reality.
