Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The pact Turlough makes in Episode 9 binds him to the Black Guardian's will, which continues to influence his behavior in Episode 10. His outburst at the Doctor ('demand the Doctor provide direction') is a direct consequence of his unresolved conflict and lingering obligation to the Black Guardian.
