Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Stevens' intimidation and detention of Yates in Episode 24 (source) echoes in Episode 25 (target), where Yates is further marginalized but re-enters the Doctor's narrative as a compromised figure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Stevens' authoritarian control over Yates reinforces the Doctor's distrust of systemic power structures. The detention links to Yates' later transformation into a tool of BOSS, creating a throughline of oppression and rebellion.
