Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Marriner's initial aggressive discovery and control over Tegan in the hold (Episode 17) evolves into a more calculated, controlled 'protection' in Episode 18 where he offers her a place to rest and monitor her."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows Marriner's trajectory from overt threat to a more subtle, seemingly benevolent but still controlling form of dominance over Tegan. His role as an enforcer of protocol and her confinement shifts from physical restraint to psychological manipulation.
