Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s urgent warning about Priority A—the Master’s involvement—in Part 1 is directly recalled when he explains that the crystal has jumped through 'interstitial time,' an advanced temporal displacement beyond normal TARDIS function."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master’s anomalous use of temporality in Part 1 (through TOM-TIT and hidden TARDIS) is validated and deepened in Part 2 when the Doctor must explain a phenomenon (interstitial time) that only the Master could have engineered.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
