Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vaughn’s discovery that the Doctor is a hostile alien threat from 'Planet 14' (Ep 12) causes him to prioritize interrogating (via circuits) and manipulating the Doctor in the lift (Ep 13), rather than immediately eliminating him."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This hidden directive to destroy them (Ep 12) is the very reason Vaughn feigns cooperation and redirects Jamie’s questions in the lift (Ep 13) — he’s buying time to extract information from the Doctor’s technology.
