How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Millington's chaotic orders in Episode 9 (banning chess sets, demanding isolation) directly cause the systemic breakdowns that Perkins is ordered to execute in Episode 10 (disabling radios), leading to a crisis the Doctor must resolve."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causally connects the two episodes through Millington's leadership failures and Perkins' role as their instrument. The earlier paranoia leads to the later sabotage, making Perkins' continuity a critical thread in the unfolding crisis.
