Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master’s removal of his mask to assert absolute control over the Autons (t_e3) is mirrored when he later orders the Autons to restrain the Doctor and Jo in the coach, stripping them of the TARDIS circuit. This demonstrates the Master’s growing mastery of his robotic enforcers and his escalating ruthlessness."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master’s earlier assertiveness in unmasking himself as the true power behind the Autons carries forward into his command over humans and machines in Episode 4. His strategy of 'appearing' as a subordinate (like the telephone engineer) is abandoned for direct, violent control, marking a shift in his leadership style.
