Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In both episodes, the Master manipulates the Sea Devils' leader against the Doctor by invoking the Doctor's past failures. Episode 13 frames this as a momentary disruption, while Episode 14 escalates it into a lever for coercion (forcing the Doctor to cooperate)."
