Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hieronymous's succumbing to demonic ambition (Part 2) directly fuels his manic rage and loss of control during the Doctor's intervention (Part 3), as his desperation to claim power leads to violent outbursts and irrational behavior."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Part 2 ends with Hieronymous discarding his Demnos mask and confronting his own insignificance, while Part 3 shows him stripped of ritualistic veneer, flying into rage as his plans unravel. This escalation in ambition and instability is a direct consequence of the Mandragora Helix's influence and his failed attempt to claim immediate power.
