Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Cyber Leader's recognition of the Doctor in Episode 20 escalates the conflict by ensuring the Cybermen will pursue the Doctor and Earth in future encounters, culminating in their concerted attack on the TARDIS and freighter in Episode 22."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Cybermen's personal vendetta against the Doctor transitions from theoretical (Episode 20) to active (Episode 22). The escalation from control center tactics to direct infiltration of human spaces (TARDIS and freighter) reflects their growing aggression.
