Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Sheprah's dismissal of Kellman's critical intelligence in Ep19 leaves the Vogan leadership blind to the Cybermen threat, leading to Vorus's inability to mobilize his forces effectively. This failure emboldens Tyram to accuse Vorus of treason in Ep20, fracturing the Vogan alliance.
