Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 18, after the crisis, the Doctor delegates diplomacy to Liz Shaw, acknowledging her practical competence. In Episode 19, under immediate life-or-death pressure (coolant failure), the Brigadier again depends on specialized team members (Gold, Sutton) despite Stahlman’s defiance, showing continuity in how leadership operationalizes expertise under pressure.
