Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes involve exploiting an enemy's programmed behavior as a vulnerability—first against androids, then against Cybermen. This escalation shows a theme of indirect, tactical violence becoming necessary for survival. Tegan's earlier anxiety about rescue timing evolves into active tactical execution.
