Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This information directly escalates the threat from a deduced possibility (Autons impersonating police) to a deadly reality. It forces the Brigadier and UNIT to confront the sophistication of the Nestene's infiltration and the lethal nature of their Auton puppets.
