Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Monk's declaration that the Doctor 'hasn't heard the last of me' (Episode 17) sets up his later capture and manipulation by Mavic Chen in Episode 18. Chen exploits the Monk's personal vendetta against the Doctor to secure the illusive TARDIS core, making the earlier vow the cause of the Monk's compromised position.

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
