Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Walker's failure to be swayed by the Doctor's peace tactic in Episode 13 (his demand for the nuclear strike) directly drives his immediate escalation in Episode 14 when he uses Blythe's report (about the Doctor) as justification for the same nuclear strike."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's attempted resolution in Episode 13 is rejected by Walker, which emboldens him in Episode 14 to pursue even more destructive solutions. This escalation highlights Walker's immovable ideological stance and its consequences.
