Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Part 2 ends with the Master monitoring the companions' fates (cardboard Jamie, trapped Zoe). Part 3 shows the Master directly intervening in the clockwork soldier's failure to recapture Jamie, demonstrating a clear cause-and-effect chain where his elevated surveillance leads to active intervention.
