The narrative assertion

"Hindle's unstable interrogation with the Doctor and Todd in Episode 9 directly leads to his erratic behavior in Episode 10, where he deploys horrific defenses against the telepathic invaders. His paranoia and delusions, evident in Episode 9, escalate in Episode 10 to a full-blown genocidal plan."
