Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Bragen's early restrictive measures (e.g., pass system) in Episode 9 lead to his use of the Doctor's identity and later, a false accusation against Quinn in Episode 10, showing a clear escalation in abuse of authority and manipulation of identity.
