Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ben’s confirmation of the Cybermen's radiation weakness in Episode 8 directly causes their shift to stealth and ambush tactics in Episode 24’s lunar attacks, as the Cybermen avoid direct confrontation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The realization of vulnerability triggers a behavioral shift: from overt aggression (moving warheads) to covert abduction (removing people from sickbay and lunar surface). This shows the Cybermen adapting their tactics based on learned weaknesses.
