Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polly’s realization that she is not in the present time ('1986! Oh no, and I thought we'd be able to get home') in Episode 5 is paralleled by her emotional outburst challenging the Cybermen’s lack of empathy in Episode 6."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This reflects Polly’s growing disillusionment and emotional investment in the situation. Her initial reaction in Episode 5 sets up her more assertive and morally grounded response to the Cybermen’s violation of human life in Episode 6.
