Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s return and the monks’ division over whether to follow the Doctor or abandon the monastery (Ep8) set the stage for Victoria’s entrancement (Ep9), which directly threatens the team and escalates the supernatural threat.
