Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's betrayal of the Doctor to the Sea Devil (claiming the Doctor was their enemy) in Episode 13 directly haunts the Doctor in Episode 14, where the Sea Devils ambush and overpower him, reflecting the consequences of the Master's manipulation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's immediate branding of the Doctor as an enemy in Episode 13 (beat_2) sets up the Sea Devils' aggression toward the Doctor in Episode 14 (beat_1), establishing a direct causal link where the Master's deception enables the Sea Devils to act violently against the Doctor.
