Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's investigation into the sphere's nature in Episode 6 (which he suspects is linked to the Yeti) fuels his determination in Episode 7 to find the creature's control unit outside the monastery. This creates a direct causal link between the Doctor's actions in both episodes, driving the plot forward.
