Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes the causal chain from the Time Lords' emergency session to the Doctor's involvement on Uxarius, where the Master is active. The Doctor's restored freedom is the enabling condition for him to challenge the Master's schemes in Episode 18.
