Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier’s revelation of missing persons tied to International Electromatics (IE) in Episode 12 directly motivates the Doctor to seek answers in Episode 13, leading to their confrontation with Vaughn and the discovery of Zoe’s sabotage."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier’s briefing about IE’s sinkhole of missing people legitimizes the Doctor’s pursuit of the facility in Episode 13. Without this prior knowledge, the Doctor and Jamie’s infiltration would lack tactical justification.
