The narrative assertion
"The Doctor surrendering the TARDIS key (Act 1) sets in motion the Master’s escape and pursuit of the sanctum. This culminates in the Master’s final takeover of Angela into his TARDIS (Act 3), as he refines his method of control—first technology (TARDIS key), then biology (Angela’s mind)."
