How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

"The companions' solvent attack on the Cybermen in Part 3 is directly cited by the Doctor in Part 4 as validation of the Cybermen's vulnerability to unconventional attacks, influencing his decision to escalate the gravitron's role."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor references the team's earlier success implicitly when he explains the Cybermen's awareness of the relief rocket's sabotage, aligning with the Episode 4 theme of tactical adaptation. This shows continuity in the narrative's problem-solving arc.
