Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Caldwell's revelation about the Adjudicator being targetable ('Even Adjudicators can be dealt with') foreshadows the Master's eventual exposure as the false Adjudicator, which directly causes Ashe's authority to collapse under the Master's manipulative demands."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Caldwell's warning about the Adjudicator being vulnerable plants the seed for the Master's eventual unmasking. This idea directly leads to the scene where the Master's false authority is exposed, destabilizing Ashe's leadership.
