Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Vaughn’s dismissal of Gregory’s failure in Part 6 (Vaughn: 'You have no time, Gregory') mirrors the Doctor’s later accusation that Vaughn’s reliance on a single machine—without Watkins’ help—is folly (Part 7)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This callback reinforces Vaughn’s hollowness as a leader (discarding failures) and exposes the flaw in his reliance on Watkins, which the Doctor exploits.
