Narrative Connection

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's warning about the Master's deception in Episode 19 is ignored, which directly enables Dent's cruel control tactics in Episode 20. Mary's presence during both events makes her arc of witnessing leadership failures contiguous across episodes.
