Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s analysis in E16—where he exposes Vaughn’s plan to control the Cybermen—sets up his direct confrontation in E17, where he uses this knowledge to unsettle Vaughn by referencing the flaw in his grand design. This creates thematic and plot-focused callbacks.
