Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The UNIT operation Turner plans in Part 6 (rescuing Perkins/Professor Watkins) directly culminates in the ambush in Part 7, where Vaughn's forces use the evacuation to attack UNIT personnel. This shows how Turner's actions in one episode enable Vaughn's counterattack in the next.
