Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deduction that Yeti are robots and must have a control unit outside the monastery (E7) leads directly to his later understanding that the Great Intelligence manipulates machines and minds through devices (pyramid / sphere / mind-drain machine)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is the foundational arc: the Doctor learns to recognize the Great Intelligence’s use of mechanical control (Yeti) -> then recognizes its use of mental and psychological control (via possession and mind-drain). The narrative follows logically from mechanical puppetry to mental domination.
