Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Bilton’s insistence on leaving the TARDIS immediately after the Master’s theft of components (E25) foreshadows their later frantic control of the unstable TARDIS to reach the sanctuary in Episode 26."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Bilton’s professional urgency in E25 ("We’ve got to get out of here") evolves into operational desperation in E26 ("guide the TARDIS") under Hayter’s telepathic guidance. This mirrors Bilton’s pragmatic shift from enforcement to improvisation.
