Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The order given by Padmasambhava in Part 4 to evacuate the monastery sets the action into motion for Part 5, where Songsten and the monks begin their preparations. The continuity of this command ties the episodes together causally and thematically around the theme of forced abandonment.
