"The Doctor's testing of the fake cylinders in 'Underworld' leads to his later paranoia about control: his distrust of Leela (disabling the scanner) directly stems from his tendency to hoard information."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection ties the Doctor's compulsive need to verify the cylinders' contents to his subsequent secretive actions (immobilizing the scanner). It establishes a pattern of the Doctor's 'controlled chaos'—where his curiosity becomes justification for isolating allies.
