Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's revelation of his circus trap for the Doctor in Episode 2 is directly referenced when the Doctor connects McDermott and Farrel's deaths to the Master's involvement in Episode 3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's deduction of the Master's role in the deaths of McDermott and Farrel is enabled by the Master's earlier admission of his plan to lure the Doctor to the circus. This callback ties the two episodes together through the shared antagonist's scheme.
