Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Arnold's accusation that the Doctor sabotaged the detonator (E24) escalates into the Doctor publicly accusing a human traitor (possibly including Chorley by implication) in the ops room (E25), heightening internal distrust."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The accusation of sabotage becomes a full-blown traitor hunt, showing the toxic hermeneutic cycle of suspicion grew from a single unfounded accusation. Chorley, though peripheral, is a beneficiary of this atmosphere.
