Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's deal with the Sisterhood in Episode 19 grants him leverage over their beliefs, which directly informs his later demand to destroy Morbius's brain in Episode 20. This continuity shows his evolving negotiation tactics between marginalizing the Sisterhood's mysticism and leveraging it against their enemies.
