Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection demonstrates how the Doctor's release in Episode 6 (through Thomni's delivery of the Abbot's order) triggers Khrisong's increasingly erratic behavior. In Episode 7, Khrisong's frustration with the monastery's pacifist stance reaches a boiling point, as he pleads for permission to fight the Yeti with force—a direct escalation from his earlier hostility toward the Doctor.
