Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Yeti's physical threat in Episode 8 (imperviousness to weapons) directly escalates to psychological and strategic threats (Travers' trauma, the Doctor's urgency to trace the control center) in Episode 9. This shows the broadening scope of the conflict.
