Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's actions in Episode 26 (attempting to trap the Master underwater) fail, leading to the Master's infiltration and miniaturization of the TARDIS. In Episode 27, the Master's exploitation of this power surge culminates in halting Logopolis's calculations, directly threatening universal stability.
