How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The dossier exposes Salamander's crimes, which the Doctor uses to manipulate Bruce and Benik by posing as Salamander. This act is a direct consequence of the prior episode's revelations.
