Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's insistence on sewer infiltration and broadcast (cand_evt_scene_73fc69d13f9d6771_02) directly leads to the Brigadier's demand for Vaughn's cooperation in Episode 18 (cand_evt_scene_8ba79ca8eeec483a_01)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's plan to broadcast his conversation with Vaughn in Episode 17 enables the Brigadier to call upon Vaughn for help in Episode 18, using the Doctor's insights as leverage. This creates a seamless bridge between episodes.
