Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Master’s ability to subvert authority in Part 1 (via mind control) directly leads to his ability to exploit UNIT’s protocols in Part 2 (tricking Benton). The escalation of deception underscores the Master’s tactical evolution.
