Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Cybermen's genocidal plan (Episode 6) justifies Cutler's desperate, morally dubious response (Episode 7), escalating the conflict and raising stakes for the Doctor's companions, who must now find another way to stop the launch.
