Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Cybermen’s global invasion plan (disclosed in Episode 16) becomes a confirmed, imminent threat in Episode 17, forcing the Brigadier to prioritize life-saving extraction over any other strategic consideration. This escalation tightens the narrative drive toward climax.
