Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s humility and regret in Episode 22 (admitting he dismissed Olive Hawthorne’s warnings) drives his immediate action in Episode 23 where he abruptly leaves the radio conversation with the Brigadier to personally inspect the Cloven Hoof, fearing the Master’s feedback mechanism instability.
