Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Stien’s 'dread at the Dalek plot' in Episode 11 (following the erasure of corpses) evolves into 'growing suspicion' over the Doctor’s actions in Episode 12, as military figures frame him as a dangerous liability. The theme of paranoia escalates from personal dread to institutionalized mistrust."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection externalizes Stien’s internal conflict into institutional suspicion, marking a shift from concealment to open distrust. The escalation reflects the broader narrative’s movement toward confrontation with systemic Dalek control and its human collaborators.
