Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's seizure of the Doctor's TARDIS key in Episode 25 directly enables his ability to manipulate the TARDIS in Episode 26, leading to its instability and Hayter's telepathic projection."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's possession of the TARDIS key in Episode 25 is the inciting incident that allows him to hijack the TARDIS in Episode 26, showing a direct causal link between the two events. Hayter's physical presence in the TARDIS in Episode 26 is a consequence of the Master's manipulation of time and space, which originated from the key's seizure.
