Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Benton’s interruption with an ‘ally call’ for the Doctor in Part 6 escalates into Jo’s outright defiance of orders in Part 1, where personal curiosity overrules UNIT protocol—raising team disobedience as a recurring narrative stress."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Benton’s competence in Part 6 enables Jo’s defiance in Part 1: her non-compliance mirrors the centrifugal forces within UNIT that began with Benton’s interrupting authority. Both represent breaches of UNIT hierarchy under crisis conditions.
