Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's taunt that the Doctor won't use the TCE due to moral scruples ('Do you hesitate, Doctor? That is your weakness') is echoed later when the Doctor, retaining his moral code, uses the TCE not directly but as a trap, leaving it activated in the Master's TARDIS. Both moments hinge on the Doctor's ethical boundaries controlling the Master's weapon, albeit in different ways."
