Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The pressure on the Brigadier to deal with a 'hold up' on a nuclear missile mission in Part 3 mirrors the Master's use of a nuclear missile as leverage against the Doctor in Part 4, both representing external threats escalating due to the Master's manipulations."
