Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's defeat in Episode 18 (Peri reducing him to miniature form) foreshadows his recurring presence as a hallucinatory antagonist in Episode 22, where he taunts the Doctor during his regeneration crisis."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's humiliation at Peri's hands in Episode 18 sets up his role as a psychological tormentor in Episode 22. His appearance in the Doctor's hallucinations during regeneration serves as a callback to his earlier defeat and continued obsession with sabotaging the Doctor.
