Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection carries the escalation of the Cybermen's genocidal intent from using puppets (the Doctor and companions) to achieve their goal to a full-scale, direct attack (crashing the Beacon into Voga). Kellman's role in enabling this plan by locating Voga and sabotaging defenses is the linchpin of this trajectory.

About Causal Connections

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
