Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 6 culminates with the Cybermen violently taking control of the base and presenting the ultimatum to humanity, setting the stage for their immediate hostile actions in Episode 7. This escalation is critical to the plot and character trajectories, as human resistance is now forced into defensive, reactive positions.
