Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Master's cruelty towards Adric (psychological torment in Episode 2) evolves into a deeper, more insidious form of control in Episode 3, where Adric is 'trussed in the Master’s psychic grip' and used as a spectral weapon. This aligns with the lens focus on the Master's 'tyrant obsessed with domination.'
