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.
