Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Reegan's cold pragmatism in capturing the Doctor in Episode 17 ('Your friend the Doctor's on his way back... I'm going to be his reception committee') evolves into his defense of the Doctor's usefulness to Carrington in Episode 18 ('He can be useful')."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Reegan's actions reveal a consistent trait: he prioritizes mission success and personal survival over moral constraints. His assessment of the Doctor as a useful resource (rather than a threat to be eliminated) in Episode 18 directly contrasts with his earlier threats but reflects his same pragmatic calculus.
