Narrative Connection

"The Master’s negotiation with Axos (securing his laser weapon) enables his hostile takeover of the TARDIS in Episode 13, where he wields it to dismantle the console."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master’s tactical retreat from Axos leaves him armed and desperate. His arrival in Episode 13 (disguised as a general) is a direct consequence of this prior escape, and his immediate hostility toward the TARDIS reflects his unresolved conflict with the Doctor.
