Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier's immediate assertion of military control in E22 (cand_evt_scene_420e56bbb935a9d5_2) creates the context for the UNIT team's presence and their vulnerability to Kronos' temporal sabotage in E23 (cand_evt_scene_72ed917248f8dc6c_2). This highlights Alistair's leadership in crisis response.
