Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The tension in Episode 14 (Vaughn's ultimatum and the rescue mission) sets the stage for the far greater threat revealed in Episode 15 (the Cybermen's invasion). The Doctor's shift from rescuing Zoe to dealing with the Cybermen represents an escalation in stakes and scale.
