Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Carrington's fanatical belief in a preemptive war manifests first in hidden transmissions (Part 1) and later in direct, forceful interference with UNIT's mission (Part 5). This shows his campaign progressing from covert manipulation to public obstruction, marking the radicalization of his extremist agenda.
