Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's earlier psychological domination of Astra is the linchpin of his final gambit, as Astra's cells comprise the Key to Time. This continuity reveals the Master's unchanging calculus: control individuals to achieve cosmic power, a trait that remains consistent across episodes.
