Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This thematic parallel escalates the horror from cultural assimilation to literal biological conversion, with Nyssa at the center of both revelations. The Doctor's earlier deduction sets up the later biological threat, showing how the Urbankans' mission evolves from cultural theft to existential conversion.
