Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's distrust of authority figures (Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart in Episode 28) parallels his conflict with Robson in Episode 29. The theme of institutional authority being either complicit in or blind to danger recurs, with the Doctor initially dismissed as an outsider in both cases."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's suspicion that authority figures are either unreliable or dangerous carries over from the Great Intelligence's infiltration of the Colonel to Robson's authoritarian rule at the refinery. Jamie, trained in a clan where leadership is earned not just awarded, mirrors this skepticism.
