Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Thematic parallel: Authority’s refusal to heed warnings despite clear signs. Bennett’s dismissal of Lernov’s early warning (Part 3) and his later refusal to engage with Cyberman infiltration (Part 4) drives the Cybermen’s infiltration to its climax. Lernov’s continuity as the observer who notes breaches persists.
