Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Captain Yates' character trajectory from a UNIT officer who betrayed the organization due to his disillusionment (Episode 10) to his continued rejection of authority in seeking solace at a spiritual retreat (Episode 21). His earlier dialogue with the Doctor ('There never was a golden age') foreshadows his later retreat to a place that purports to offer a return to simpler truths.
