Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 26, Leela stands stoically as the Doctor uses hypnosis on Rodan—a morally complex tactic. In Episode 28, she joins the Watcher scene, where the Doctor's final 'hypnosis' is self-directed through regeneration, showing her silent acceptance of his morally ambiguous nature."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Leela's trajectory shows her moving from passive witness to the Doctor's manipulation of others (Rodan) to active presence at his self-sacrifice. She never questions his methods in either scene, showing her deep trust even as she loses him.
