Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Time Lord Council's remote manipulation in Episode 815 initiates the Doctor's journey away from Earth, and this ongoing conflict with the Time Lords culminates in Episode 1409 when the Doctor returns to Gallifrey and directly subverts their rituals by disguising himself.
