Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polly being spotted through the periscope in Episode 5 parallels the Cybermen's disguise being revealed in Episode 6 - both involve 'spotting' the real nature of something that appears normal on the surface (TARDIS/personnel vs soldier/Cyberman)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This establishes a consistent theme of perception versus reality, where human characters (and the audience) are shown to be bad at identifying real threats. Both events involve mechanical 'eyes' (periscope/radio imaging) failing to see the truth.
