Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's realization about the erased history of the Fendahl's planet provides insight into the entity's nature, which he later uses to deduce the efficacy of salt against them. This knowledge transfer is crucial for the resolution of the conflict.
