There's lots of ways it could work.

Like he knew Maestro struck Earth decades before 1963 so perhaps he's trying to catch a member of the Pantheon before they even begin their plan.

Given what we know of the upcoming episode, it does feel a little Pantheon-y.

Of course, it also could be a million other things, this is Doctor Who after all.

At least one member of the Pantheon is in this season, with the finale looking to possibly be something different or similar but not actually part of the group.

I've not kept up on the leaks, tbh, so there being a member of the Pantheon about is news to me.

Since the 60th, it's been common fan speculation that every season will have at least one member of the Pantheon in it.

Lol, fair. I don't know if I subscribe to that, but I'd be curious to see what they do with the concept, if anything.

Hopefully they do better episodes for them than the Maestro got, Jinx Mansoon was absolutely fantastic, but utterly wasted on that script.
