Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Flynn's role evolves from being tackled in a hand-to-hand fight with the Brigadier to being the one physically dominating the Doctor. This reversal of fortune—from captured to captor—shows how Flynn has re-established himself in criminal circles, though his methods remain the same: using his physical strength to serve a higher authority (Reegan then, the Master now).
