Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Liz Shaw's direct confrontation with Stahlman's sabotage (Ep 21) creates the immediate crisis that forces the Doctor into the parallel world, which then sets up her skepticism and confrontation with him in Ep 22 when he appeals to her intellect."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This chain begins with Liz discovering Stahlman's betrayal, which leads to the Doctor's disappearance into the parallel world. By Ep 22, Liz is now a hardened 'Section Leader Shaw' in the dystopian world, directly mirroring the Doctor's plea for her to use her intellect—showing how her initial role as UNIT’s scientific adviser has been twisted but her core character (intellect, pragmatism) remains intact. The emotional weight of Ep 21's betrayal fuels her hardened stance in Ep 22.
