Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Maxil’s clinical dispatch of the Doctor in Part 2 drives his later role as the Castellan’s forensic sleuth in Part 3, where he uncovers evidence that undermines his original verdict."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
His earlier authority in sentencing the Doctor to death establishes a continuity of role: enforcer of institutional will. This leads him to investigate the 'irregular' termination in Part 3, revealing the institutional rot he once embodied faith in. His character trajectory arcs from blind executioner to reluctant truth-seeker.
