Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's discovery of Harry's disappearance (from Sickbay) in E2 leads to heightened tensions and compromised security, which Lamont is forced to explain. This vulnerability enables her Zygon reveal in E3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Lamont's role in explaining Harry's absence (E2) and unmonitored security (E2) directly sets up her compromised position in E3. Her presence as a trusted medic is critical to the Zygon infiltration plot, which unfolds in E3 with her violent reveal.
