Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's recognition of the temporal threat posed by the Master's TOM-TIT device in E22 (cand_evt_scene_dacf8309e59e95e6_3) leads directly to his acute observation of Hyde's fluctuating condition in E23 (cand_evt_scene_72ed917248f8dc6c_2), linking the past and present dangers.
