Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Cyber Leader's vow to purge the traitor who deactivated the bomb in Episode 20 Part 2 directly drives its fixation on identifying and seizing the Doctor alive in Episode 21 Part 3. The realization that a human ally aided their plan fuels the Cybermen's obsession with capturing the Doctor to preempt future interference."
