Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Benton’s physical confrontation with the Master in E22 leads directly to his incapacitation and subsequent exposure to Kronos’s temporal distortions in E23, where his body flickers between aging and rejuvenation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Benton’s resourcefulness in thwarting a fake Brigadier call (E22) escalates into a life-threatening encounter with temporal energy (E23), demonstrating how the Master’s schemes target Benton’s reliability as a UNIT guard. This escalation reinforces Benton’s role as a persistent obstacle to the Master’s plans.
