Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Cyber Planner's revelation of the invasion timeline in Episode 15 (source) is echoed by the Planner's countdown to the transmitter activation in Episode 16 (target), reinforcing the inevitability of the Cybermen's assault."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The source event introduces the time pressure of the invasion, which the target event literalizes as a countdown. Vaughn's plan to sabotage the signal in 30 minutes (target) is a direct callback to the Planner's earlier timeline (source).
About Callback Connections
