Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor revealing the TARDIS as a potential escape route crystalizes the Great Intelligence's focus on abducting Professor Travers (as seen in Episode 27's opening), because the Intelligence requires Travers' knowledge to operationalize the TARDIS against them. This turns the Colonel's mission into the Intelligence's primary target.
