Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Time Lords' pragmatic decision to use the Doctor as a tool against The Master's threat sets him on the path to Uxarieus. This mission continuity drives his actions across episodes, where he investigates the IMC's cover-ups and opposes Dent's deceptions.
