"Linx's arrival in Episode 1 (claiming Earth for the Sontaran Empire) directly enables his later demonstration of the robotic knight in Episode 2 as part of his technological intimidation campaign."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes Linx's consistent strategy: asserting dominance through superior technology. His initial display of power (vaporizing Irongron's sword) escalates into deploying the robotic knight, reinforcing his role as an alien warlord manipulating medieval forces.
