Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Clent's deference to the computer in Episode 12 (overruling the Doctor's warnings about Victoria) mirrors his delegation of the perilous glacier mission to Arden in Episode 13. His prioritization of protocol over human life remains consistent, reinforcing his flawed leadership."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows Clent's character flaw as a throughline: his inability/unwillingness to make moral judgments without computer validation. It also foreshadows his later dismissal of the Ioniser's moral cost ('some lives are bound to be lost').
