Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's initial halting of Logopolis' core calculations (Episode 27) directly forces the Doctor and Master to converge on the Central Register in Episode 28 to salvage the Monitor's research."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's sabotage in Episode 27 creates the necessity for the research retrieval plot in Episode 28. Without it, there would be no quest to the Central Register or later conflict over codes.
