Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's taunt that 'Your mind I shall deposit [in my library]' and his horror at the Source's betrayal ('The Source! Someone has tampered with the power of the Source!') reveal his obsession with possessing the Doctor. This obsession persists in Episode 26, where the Master's infiltration of the TARDIS serves as a proxy for his ultimate goal of controlling the Doctor.
