Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Cybermen's use of hypnotized humans (e.g., Vallance, Laleham) as unwitting agents in Part 4 is mirrored by Flannigan's similar role in Part 6, showing the Cybermen's dependency on psychological control across episodes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Flannigan's hypnosis in Part 6 is a direct continuation of the Cybermen's psychological warfare tactics established in Part 4, reinforcing their modus operandi.
