"The War Lord's execution of the War Chief for treason (Part 9) mirrors the Time Lords' judgment against the War Lord himself (Part 10), reinforcing the theme of temporal justice as a cycle of retribution and consequence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection escalates the conflict arc by showing that the War Lord's own system of control collapses due to his crimes, just as the Time Lords later enforce justice against him and, by extension, the Doctor for his violations.
