Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s deductions (source) directly inform UNIT’s strategic response (target): the realization that a missile strike is needed to counter Cyber-control signals at a global scale. This shows the direct causal flow from diagnosis to action, with Isobel present as a key witness to both.
