Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The collapse of order and authority in the primitive city (Master’s escape, fragmentation of alliances) escalates into the supernatural chaos at Devil’s End, where the Master’s occult machinations demand urgent intervention."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failure of institutional control (IMC, Caldwell’s disillusionment) and the rise of the Master as a manipulative force in Episode 20 directly escalates into the supernatural threat embodied by the Master’s ritual in Episode 21. Jo’s role as a pursuer in Episode 20 (following the Master) evolves into her role as the Doctor’s swift ally against the Master’s Daemon-summoning scheme.
