Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's involvement in the TOM-TIT project in Episode 21 demonstrates his relentless pursuit of temporal power. That same ambition drives him to ally with the Rani in Episode 6, only to betray her when the device falters. This character continuity shows how the Master's manipulations escalate from local experiments to direct confrontations with fellow Time Lords, moving the conflict from a scientific disaster to a psychic brawl over the fabric of time.
