Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Jamie's abduction and subsequent psychic link to the 'Piper' mythos (referenced in the Cyberman's abductions) forces the Doctor to confront the Cybermen threat head-on in Episode 24, tying the two episodes together through Jamie's vulnerability and the Doctor's protective response.
