Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's revelation that humans are aware of Cybermen tactics (Episode 39) directly informs the Cyber-Planner's behavior in Episode 40, where it prioritizes identifying traitors and forcing Vallance to think of individuals. This reflects a continuity in the Planner's paranoia and adaptive strategy.
