How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Baker’s trauma and doggedness in Episode 6 create a feedback loop: his injury fuels his demands for force, which the Brigadier adopts. This escalates the threat level and pushes the story toward open conflict.
