Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's identification of time manipulation as the cause of Hyde's condition in Episode 22 escalates in Episode 23, where the same temporal forces are affecting others (Ruth, Benton, and the Brigadier). This escalation emphasizes the growing threat posed by the Master's use of the Crystal of Kronos and the TOM-TIT machine.
