Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Turner's strategic commitment to a dangerous operation in Episode 16 (authorized by the Brigadier) results in his isolation and need for extraction in Episode 17 when the Cybermen invade. This carries forward Turner's role as field commander under pressure.
