Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces the direct escalation of Chinn's power in the conflict arc. His bureaucratic obstruction ('I must insist upon a file for this Doctor') leads to him receiving explicit emergency powers ('Special powers have already been granted'), showing how his initial attempts to control UNIT evolve into full authoritarian control.
