Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's determination in Episode 16 to explore and counteract the unknown force ('we shall have to go and find the trouble of this interference') propels him to search for the TARDIS's tracks in Episode 17, even as he faces the emotional shock of the ship's loss.
