Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's displacement into a hostile parallel world (Episode 21) mirrors his struggle to be heard and heeded in Episode 22, where his warnings about the infection are ignored, reinforcing the theme of authoritarian dismissal of truth."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 21, the Doctor is physically displaced and assaulted for being an outsider. In Episode 22, his warnings about the infection are likewise dismissed, creating a thematic parallel: truth and legitimacy are irrelevant under authoritarian rule, and only drastic action can break through.
