The narrative assertion

"The Brigadier’s growing distrust of the Second Doctor due to his altered appearance and opaque explanations in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_66920c01a1a35ed9_1) parallels the tension between the two Doctors’ bickering over methods and identity in Episode 3. Both represent institutional skepticism and generational tension within the Time Lord legacy."
