Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Marco's refusal to delay the caravan during the crisis (Event 1c481c83c33dde71_03, believable linked through intra-connections) creates the conditions where the Doctor feels compelled to secretly regain control of the TARDIS, using the forged key he made during their oasis stop (which would have been recent given the urgency).
