Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The discovery and reuse of the hidden tunnel in Episode 38 (cand_evt_scene_00ef93aa2b8942bf_01) is directly causally linked to Vicki and Steven’s ability to move undetected through the monastery, which leads to their discovery of the Monk’s TARDIS in Episode 39.
