It's like Rose first appearing in Rose and then making her second appearance in The End of the World or Amy first appearing in The Eleventh Hour and then making her second appearance in The Beast Below. There's basic continuity of a character appearing for the first time and then making their second appearance, but that can be said any episode where a new recurring character is introduced. The End of the World continues more clearly from Rose (literally the first scene of TEOTW takes place after the last scene of Rose and directly follows it on a clip recap of that episode) than TNOTD does from TDOTD. It's more analogous to Adam Mitchell in Dalek and The Long Game, two episodes which are clearly not a two-parter.
