Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's refusal to submit to authority in the lunar airlock crisis (E12) sets the pattern for his bold accusations against the Master in the Draconian throne room (E13). The latter event is a direct escalation of his defiance under pressure.
