Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events force Leela to confront the moral weight of their victory in violent undertakings. In 'Underworld,' the uneasy truce with Minyans (a morally ambiguous outcome) contrasts with the Doctor’s later accusation of her warrior ethics in 'The Invasion of Time,' probing her internal struggle to reconcile violence with trust."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
These events bookend Leela’s internal conflict arc around violence, showing her initial alignment with brutal tactics in 'Underworld' and her later questioning of the hollow morality of conflict-free victory in 'The Invasion of Time.' The Doctor’s probing mirrors the creeping tension she felt in the tunnels but now articulated with blunt clarity.
