Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Vaughn’s realization that the Doctor and Jamie are ‘hostile’ in Episode 12 (the Planners’ demand for their destruction) is directly escalated in Episode 15 (Part 5) where the Cybermen invasion is revealed, with Vaughn’s collaboration central to the plot. The earlier event foreshadows the later revelation of Vaughn’s full complicity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Planners' declaration of the Doctor's hostility in Part 2 sets up the sustained threat against him and Jamie, culminating in the Cybermen invasion being tied to IE's operations in Part 5. The tension escalates from Vaughn acting on external orders (Part 2) to Vaughn actively defying and seeking to control the Cybermen (Part 5).
