Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's desperate gambit—to partially materialize the TARDIS underwater and flush out the Master—sets up his later realization in Logopolis that the Master's target was never him, but the city's computational foundation of reality. Both reflect the Doctor's misdirected focus under pressure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's flawed assumptions (Master targeting him) persist into Episode 27, where he initially believes the Master's vendetta is personal. This continuity in his misjudgment highlights his fallibility despite his wisdom.
