Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Brigadier’s shift to focus on rescuing the Doctor in Part 5 (triggered by Benton’s assault progress) directly leads to the Doctor’s presence at the prison in Part 6. The Brigadier’s tactical pivot in Part 5 ensures the Doctor is on-site to confront the Master in Part 6."
