How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The threat evolves from external (Cybermen weapons) to systemic (colony gas tyranny). This escalation creates a thematic bridge between the two episodes about institutional control.
