Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Time Lord's explicit warning sets up the escalation of the Master's threat from covert manipulation to overt, lethal action. The graphic demonstration of his power in Episode 2 (suffocating McDermott) confirms the Doctor's peril and the Master's willingness to murder.
