Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Captain's brittle authority in Episode 5 (exposed by Fibuli correcting his targeting) deepens into psychological brutality in Episode 7, where he tries to provoke the Doctor while shackled—showing his need to assert dominance despite physical decline."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Captain's earlier fragility (seen when corrected by Fibuli) transforms into predatory taunting of the Doctor, illustrating his compensatory cruelty when his control is threatened.
