Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection illustrates the escalation of the conflict. The Brigadier's decision to send UNIT to Newton Institute sets up the later entrapment of the Doctor and Master in a temporal standoff. The institutional response to the temporal threat leads directly to the Doctor's later inability to escape the Master's time-locked TARDIS.
