Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection highlights the Doctor's role as an outsider under suspicion. His defiance in reporting Travers' disappearance in Episode 7 is directly referenced in Episode 8 when Khrisong uses the Doctor's return as a counterpoint to Songsten's plea to abandon the monastery.
