Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Adric’s earlier entrapment in the Zero Cabinet/web (Episode 4) foreshadows the Doctor’s decision to leave Hayter behind in the sanctum (Episode 25) as someone with mental resistance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events show the Master targeting someone valuable (Adric’s intellect and Hayter’s psychic resistance) as leverage. The Doctor’s strategic exclusion in Episode 25 echoes his earlier desperate attempt to free Adric from the Master’s trap.
