"Hart’s reluctant acceptance of the Doctor’s warnings in Episode 12 is undercut by Walker’s arrival in Episode 13, where Walker uses the same crisis to seize power."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor’s warning about an ‘alien stronghold’ and the Master’s theft in Episode 12 is immediately followed by Walker cynically taking charge in Episode 13, dismissing the crisis as something ‘I’ve come down to clear up for you.’ This is a direct callback to Hart’s earlier attempts to act responsibly.
