Doctor and Peri foil Lytton's diamond heist

The explosives Russell is tasked to procure are central to Lytton’s heist plan within UIP House. Their mention drives Russell’s nervous objections to the rushed timeline, exposing the inherent dangers of the operation and Lytton’s intolerance for any slip-ups that might threaten the Cybermen-bound handover.

Before: Not yet procured, Russell’s upcoming difficulty with their acquisition is the subject of Lytton’s threats.

After: Status unknown, but Russell’s inability to secure them would incur Lytton’s violent retribution, underscoring the crew’s expendability.

Lytton’s crew prepares the sewer heist route

Cyber-heist explosives are referenced as Russell’s responsibility, to be used strategically beneath the bank via the sewers to create controlled breaches without a direct frontal assault. Their use is framed as surgical precision to avoid immediate detection, embodying Lytton’s methodical approach to high-risk sabotage.

Before: Implied to be in Russell’s possession or staged near the operation site, ready for deployment as part of the heist plan. Griffiths’ scepticism suggests their destructive potential concerns him.

After: Designated for use in the operation; their planned detonation in confined spaces remains a contentious point between Lytton and Griffiths.
