Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's revelation in Part 5 of a narrow escape from Cybermen-engineered sabotage sets the stage for Part 6, where the actualization of that sabotage occurs through air poisoning and meteorite assaults, escalating the threat from hypothetical sabotage to life-threatening acts."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
