Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jean and Phyllis's playful innocence in Episode 8 (handling the artifact) is revealed to have unleashed a dormant evil that fully manifests in Episode 9, where the curse's spread and the Doctor's confrontation with Jean/Phyllis's vampiric forms directly result from their earlier act.
