Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Arnold’s reporting of the Doctor’s suspected role in sabotage in Episode 24 (cand_evt_scene_c3315af267e627e3_01) escalates from his earlier act of bringing the prisoners in Episode 23 (cand_evt_scene_e1f829d2c0030b6b_01), marking a shift from mere custody to an accusatory stance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Arnold’s act of bringing Jamie and Victoria as prisoners in Episode 23 (cand_evt_scene_e1f829d2c0030b6b_01) sets up his evolving suspicion of the Doctor, which he directly accuses in Episode 24 (cand_evt_scene_c3315af267e627e3_01). This shows Arnold’s character trajectory from disciplined soldier to paranoid antagonist.
