Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Having witnessed the permeability of human institutions to Zygon infiltration (Stag’s eye device, Forgill’s duplicity), Benton’s heightened vigilance in monitoring transmissions becomes justified. His ability to act on the modulated signal is a direct professional response informed by prior exposure to the Zygon threat.
