Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pursuit initiated by Rorvik at the end of Episode 18 (Episode 18's 'cand_evt_scene_d959e388d64db03b_01') leads directly to the Doctor's retreat behind the mirror in Episode 19, where he is trapped and must find another way out. This escape route (the mirror) becomes the focus of his attention and leads to the revelation about its gateway properties.

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
