Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Romana's presence at the Fourth Doctor's end (as part of the chorus calling his name) establishes her as a key figure in his life. In the later episode, she appears on the scanner as part of the multiversal crisis, demonstrating how the bond forged in that poignant moment persists across episodes and incarnations, uniting disparate timelines of the Doctor's existence.
