Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's insistent demands for investigation in Episode 31 lead to the airport police being alerted, which Jenkins references when describing the Doctor and Jamie to Crossland in Episode 32. This escalates the investigation and sets up the mystery around the Doctor's group.
