Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This parallel binds Toberman’s fate as a tragic figure caught between humanity and conversion. His arc represents the cost of the Cybermen’s manipulations, with Parry’s earlier inability to save him foreshadowing his later, if reluctant, liberation of the group.
