Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Doctor Summers' early warning about the Keller Machine's psychological cost (erasing negative impulses, leaving emotional hollowness) directly parallels his later actions during the hostage crisis, where he prioritizes Jo's safety and negotiation despite personal risk."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection demonstrates Summers' consistent professional concern for patient safety and emotional integrity, even as the crisis escalates. His earlier medical assessment of Barnham's condition ('a hollowed-out shell') mirrors his later role as a hostage where he remains level-headed despite threats.
