Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Stor's ruthless command to pursue the Doctor and destroy the TARDIS power unit—driven by a fanatical devotion to the Sontaran Empire—foreshadows the Master's similar absolute commitment to universal blackmail in Episode 28. The Sontaran's single-mindedness is a reflection of the Master's own obsessions, both willing to sacrifice all for victory."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Sontaran Soldier, as part of Stor's force, embodies the logic of total war. This same logic drives the Master in Episode 28. The soldier's presence as a specter later reinforces that this warlike mindset continues to haunt the Doctor, even when the Sontarans themselves are gone.
