Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Benton's role as the intermediary between the Brigadier and the Doctor continues: in Ep 26 he 'appears abruptly' and is pulled into the Brigadier's command; in Ep 1 he 'arrives to enforce the evacuation order' and speaks for the Brigadier, showing his established position as the link between military and scientific authority."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Across both episodes, Benton functions as a bridge. In Ep 26 he is bewildered but present for the Brigadier's questions; in Ep 1 he 'arrives to enforce the evacuation order' and summarizes the Brigadier's commands. This continuity of function establishes his consistent role as the NCO who translates between the Doctor and the Brigadier.
