Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's public accusation that the Keller machine is responsible for Linwood's death (Episode 5) leads directly to Dr. Summers' professional concern in Episode 6 about the Keller Treatment's overcorrection in Barnham's case ('It's extracted all the negative impulses from his brain.')."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's challenge to the Keller machine's legitimacy in Episode 5 creates a narrative and thematic bridge for Summers' medical evaluation in Episode 6, showing the ongoing consequences of the machine's use and Summers' alignment with the Doctor's growing skepticism.
