Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dalios' exposure of the Master's false divinity (Episode 25) parallels the Doctor's later exposure of the Master's lies to Jo (Episode 26), both acting as truth-tellers against deception."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both the Doctor and Dalios serve as sceptics who challenge the Master's claims to divine authority. The Doctor's final confrontation with the Master (in which he exposes the lie of Dalios' death) mirrors Dalios' earlier refusal to be hypnotized, reinforcing the theme of truth versus deception in their ideological battle.
