Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events explore the theme of time as a destructive force, with Hyde's subjective experience in Episode 22 (the sensation of being consumed) mirrored by the objective effects in Episode 23 (Hyde's body flickering between ages). This parallel reinforces the immediate and tangible consequences of the Master's actions.
