Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The conflict arc of the Master's schemes expands from mere subjugation of Farrel and awakening of Autons (Episode 1) to outright lethal dominance and exploitation of human weakness (Episode 2). This escalation tightens the noose on Farrel and UNIT.
