Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deduction about Cybermen tactics in Part 5 forces the Cybermen, as a collective, to recognize him as their primary adversary and respond by targeting him directly in Part 6 through psychological manipulation (via hypnosis of Vallance)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Cybermen's hive-mind evolution from faceless invaders to a tactical entity aware of the Doctor's role shows their adaptive threat level, driven by his earlier revelations. This raises the stakes for future confrontations.
