Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mawdryn's attempts to reassure and urge the Brig '77 into the transmat (Act 2) parallel his earlier appeals to the Doctor to save the mutants through shared suffering (Act 1). Both scenes show Mawdryn manipulating others to avoid his own fate—ultimately failing."
