Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discovery of Goodge's shrunken body (Episode 1) is directly referenced in Episode 2 when the Doctor's empty wallet is seen as another example of the Master's transformation of humans into grotesque forms."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
While the events are not identical, both scenes show the Doctor discovering grotesque transformations inflicted by the Master: shrinking (Goodge) and emasculation (via an empty wallet). This underscores the Master's creativity and cruelty in punishing perceived slights.
