Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The revelation of Mawdryn's undead state and the existence of eight rogue regenerator links in Ep 11 deepens the temporal anomaly threat, escalating from the Brigadier's memory crisis (explored via probing his mind in Ep 10) to a full-scale ontological threat to the TARDIS and temporal order."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The escalation links the Brigadier's personal crisis (suppressed memory, fragmented identity) with a larger temporal threat — Mawdryn as a corrupted Time Lord — mirroring the Brigadier’s own loss of self and continuity across time.
