Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's order to Yates and Benton to remain at the Cloven Hoof (Part 3) directly leads to their confusion and frustration when Jo and Yates ignore orders and act independently in Part 4, creating a conflict between authority and initiative."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link shows Benton's role as the enforcer of the Doctor's orders, which creates tension with Yates and Jo's decision to disregard those orders for the sake of action. It establishes Benton's loyalty to protocol even as others prioritize instinct, a key trait in his character arc.
