Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's skepticism about Doctor 2nd's explanations in Episode 2 ('they've been mucking around with that infernal machine') is echoed in Episode 3 when Jo and Benton insist the Doctor was with them, while the Brigadier insists he was with him ('He can't have been. He was with me'), reflecting the fractured nature of Omega's antimatter world."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback highlights the Brigadier's rigid belief in linear reality, which is constantly disrupted in Omega's antimatter realm. His confusion in Episode 3 directly stems from his distrust of the Doctor's temporal anomalies in Episode 2.
