Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 17, Vaughn’s delusional confidence in the Cybermen’s invulnerability is contrasted with the Doctor’s warning about their betrayal. In Episode 18, Vaughn’s act of destroying the Cyber-Planner symbolizes his realization of the Cybermen’s true nature—an ironic twist where his earlier confidence in their control backfires.
