Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s synthesis of the invasion plot in Episode 27 directly enables the climax in Episode 28, where the team’s efforts to misdirect the Martian fleet culminate in resolving the multi-layered threat. This escalation ties the episodes together through the Doctor’s evolving strategy.
