Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Millington's tendency to disguise his true intentions behind military and bureaucratic facades (seen in Part 1 with the chessboard distraction) evolves into his explicit admission in Part 2 that the Ultima machine is 'bait' designed to engage supernatural forces."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier portrayal of Millington's superficial engagement with official duties (chessboard distraction) foreshadows his later revelation that he has always been manipulating situations toward his true, hidden goal: harnessing supernatural forces (the Ancient One) for military victory.
