Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's medical intervention and care for Idas in the airlock crisis (Part 2) parallels the Doctor's later discovery of massive slave labor systems (Part 3). Both scenes show the Doctor's commitment to healing and intervention, but scale from individual to systemic oppression."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Carries the theme that personal compassion inevitably leads to systemic awareness. Leela's growth mirrors this— from tending to a wounded stranger to recognizing industrial-scale suffering. The series' theme of the Doctor as a healer of systems rather than just individuals is established across these episodes.
