Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Marius disarming Leela and asserting control through K9’s protocols (E6) echoes K9’s later explanation of his attack on Leela (E7), both moments involving disarming and de-escalation failures."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This creates a thematic arc around the instability of authority and control, with Leela as the constant outsider challenging both human and automated systems. The callbacks reinforce her lack of trust in institutional power.
