Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows a narrative escalation of Benton’s responsibilities and the nature of crises he engages with. Initially, he handles low-level intelligence (Lennox’s arrival). By Part 7, he is triangulating high-priority distress signals, reflecting the increasing stakes and technological complexity of UNIT’s operations.
