Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s skepticism about the Master’s feigned reform in Episode 9 (when he probes the Master about secrets and change) is mirrored in Episode 10 when Captain Hart dismisses the Doctor and Jo’s eyewitness accounts of Sea Devils, aligning Hart’s denial with the Master’s manipulative deception."
