Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This parallel highlights a core tactic of the Master: psychological manipulation through vulnerability. By juxtaposing the exploitation of the Doctor's grief (hallucinated companions) and Jack's grief (murder revenge), the connection demonstrates a consistent, insidious aspect of the Master's character.
