Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Chinn's actions in creating a blind spot regarding the Master in Part 1 enable the Master's subsequent infiltration, which escalates the crisis in Part 3. Yates' role in exposing the Master shows continuity in addressing the consequences of earlier blind spots.
