Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hayter's fatal intellectual curiosity and disregard for warnings (Time Flight Part 3) callbacks to Stapley's covert sabotage of the Master's TARDIS (Time Flight Part 4). Both characters prioritize intellectual solutions ('chance of inheriting the wisdom of all the universe' / 'sabotaged his TARDIS') over immediate safety."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This parallel reinforces Tegan's skepticism toward both schemes. Her challenge to the Doctor's trade with the Master ('questioning the concession') echoes her earlier dismissal of Hayter's delusion. Both moments reflect her role as the audience surrogate, voicing distrust of intellectual overreach.
