Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The psychological dominance exhibited in Part 4 (binding Astra) evolves into overt, violent command structures in Part 6 (directing forces to seize the Doctor). This escalation reflects the Master's increasing desperation and his inability to sustain control over his pawns, as their loyalty and actions become unreliable.
