Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Cybermat's survival and continued presence (noting its presence in Episode 4) bridges the two episodes. The robber drone's activation in Episode 2 sets up its role as a lingering threat in Episode 4, creating a direct causal link where the Cybermat's actions in Episode 2 enable its stealthy infiltration into Episode 4.
