Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Act 1, the Master gloats that the Doctor lacks his TCE; in Act 3, the Doctor uses this very tool—left activated—to strand the Master's TARDIS and trap him. The Doctor’s superior intelligence and moral flexibility turn the Master’s own weapon against him, symbolizing the reversal of power through cunning."
