"The Doctor's observation of Cybermen behavior and his manipulation of the R/T unit in Episode 25 is a direct consequence of Hobson's ultimatum and the escalating Cyberman threat first documented in Episode 24."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's strategic mind and technical curiosity (demonstrated in Episode 24's sickbay investigation) drive his covert sabotage of Cyberman communications in Episode 25, showing continuity in his character and escalation in tactics.
