How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Williams' aggressive assertion of operational authority in Episode 10 (taking direct control of interrogations) directly escalates into his relentless push for military action against the Draconians in Episode 11, creating a thread of increasing militarization."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connects the institutional conflict's escalation from procedural overreach (Williams controlling interrogations) to active military pressure (demanding war). The persistent hawkish behavior of Williams carries this conflict forward as a consistent threat to diplomacy.
