Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's deduction of the Xeraphin's role in the sanctum in Episode 25 directly informs the Master's actions in Episode 26. The Master's attempt to harness the Xeraphin's power for his TARDIS leads to Hayter's telepathic abilities being activated as a consequence.
