Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's earlier refusal to accept the Master's reform arcs into direct suspicion and confrontation. The earlier event primes the audience to expect the Master's continued deceit, even though the Doctor is momentarily lulled by appearances again.
