Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's investigation of the comet and plague in Part 1 sets up his knowledge of alien technology. This knowledge enables his demonstration of the control bracelet in Part 2, which is critical for convincing Mace of the android's true nature.
