Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both episodes feature authority figures manipulating the revolutionary system through deception. While the Doctor manipulates lower-level jailers, Stirling manipulates the entire revolutionary apparatus through imposture. This creates a thematic parallel about manipulation as survival in turbulent times.
