Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela’s formal pledge of loyalty to the Doctor in her quarters (Episode 21) is tested by his public betrayal (ordering her expulsion in Episode 22). Her decision to flee and seek refuge with him in secret demonstrates continuity in her fierce loyalty despite political manipulation."

The longer arc this connection carries
This connection sustains Leela’s character arc as a warrior whose instinct is protect the Doctor, even when he becomes the oppressor. It recontextualizes her loyalty as an act of defiance against oppressive systems, whether the Doctor’s or Gallifrey’s.
