Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The abduction of Jo Grant in Episode 6 sets up her continued captivity in Episode 7, where she becomes the Master’s pawn in forcing the Doctor’s compliance. This is a key causal link showing how specific actions in one episode shape the immediate narrative stakes in the next.
