Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Vaughn's dismissive yet intrigued reaction to the Doctor's presence in Episode 13 drives his later prioritization of capturing the Doctor in Episode 14, both to secure the TARDIS and as leverage over the Cybermen. This shows Vaughn's evolving ambition to dominate both human and alien forces.
