Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master’s desperate escalation—from attempting to dominate Azal alone to ordering the Doctor’s execution and then demanding a full coven ritual—directly enables Jo to be seized as the ritual sacrifice. The stakes escalate from personal conflict to cosmic ritual peril.
