Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The dried blood serves as a physical clue to the impending supernatural conflict, tying the Doctor's investigative actions in Episode 9 directly to the escalated threat in Episode 10. Emilia's self-blame in Episode 10 is a direct consequence of the ritual's unfolding, which the blood hinted at.
