Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's revelation of a 'trap behind that trap' in Episode 2 foreshadows his construction of Castrovalva as a layered trap in Episode 3, where the Master directly uses Adric as a spectral instrument of his deception."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's metatrap concept from Episode 2 (his scanner revealing the Doctor's survival) directly culminates in Episode 3 with Castrovalva as a physical manifestation of his deceptive scheming. Adric’s spectral warning in the mirror is both a callback to his earlier defiance and a continuation of the Master's grand manipulation.
